Got the keys and am in love!

Well after doing some shopping around and finding what I want I got my new truck. Got a 2011 F150 Supercrew FX4 in Blue Flame! I decided to go with the 5.0L and got the smaller bed. I am completely in love with the new truck. It has so many new features that my 2004 didn't have!

My favorite things so far are the rear view camera and more room in the backseat and the backseat floor is bigger and completely flat compared to my 2004. I am at 41.9 miles!

Ended up paying $34,500 plus TTL and $350 for a spray in liner, and $1500 for 5yr/60,000 mile full warranty and maintenance.

I love the FX4 look! Congrats.
That's what I'd get - if they'd just let me have the 40/20/40 front bench & the HD payload package with it. Darn! Can't have it all, can you?
Your truck looks awesome!

The only Mod I am planning now is to add a Leer 1000XQ cap. I have a great dane and he needs to go in the back. I love my dog, but I love the new truck smell better.

So far the only thing I have found I don't like is they did not put a USB port for Sync in the center console. So I have to plug and unplug it every time I get in and out since it is only on the dash board. I think I have seen posts about a hidden one somewhere that I will have to find. All other Fords have it in the center, I am perplexed that they didn't in ours!

Beautiful truck, Congratulations. You're going to love the 5.0. I never plug my I pad (I phone) in the USB. I use the command "Bluetooth Audio"

I love the backup camera too (I just got my 2011 FX4 too).
Even at night, that camera is awesome.

I have 2 big dogs and the crew cab is so big, I could sublet it if I parked it in the city. Seriously though, I think I could put down the 40 seat and still have the dogs in the back, which I couldnt do with my last truck.

@Pkvir - The "bluetooth audio" thing has blown my mind - and I'm in a IT-related field. I can't believe I can listen to whatever is on my phone. I used to have to burn CDs so this is so cool.

Good luck with it - its a fine ride!
