Smile New Truck! :)

Hello All,

New to the forum, and I have a new toy. 2012 F-250 Lariat CC SRW SB every option inc. nav. Any tips and tricks for a new truck owner? I've only had SUV's before this, but I LOVE this truck.

Best
-Max

Edit to add: I know nothing about them, so I apologize if I have a lot of questions.

Welcome to FTE and congrats on the new truck!

There are a lot of experienced people on this forum that can help answer questions you may have. If you can't find an answer by using the search function (because that can be a painful process) just ask.

Congrats on the new truck; I love mine as well.
First rule for newcomers (and I am one of them) is you will get told that an announcement of a new truck without pictures is useless (this is told to us in a kidding tone, but I get it).
You will then - like me - go looking for a way to post pictures and end up wasting the rest of the day. Searching threads, requesting pics, you name it, I've tried it (which may say more about me than about the forum).
I still don't know how to post pics, but I have learned a lot from using it.

I had a 2003 EB Expedition before this one... I've learned a ton from these guys. So much to learn, too... and such an awesome vehicle.

Hey man, welcome to FTE & congrats on the new truck. Mine is 18 months old now with 24,000 miles & I still love it like the day I rolled it out the dealership, send us pics and tell us about it when you get a chance.

Welcome to the forum and Congrats.

I would hide the check book and CC, this can get expensive adding things.
Take a look at a fuel supplement though, might be a good investment. I use the Motorcraft Diesel addative, 4 oz to each tank fill up. Helps maintain a good cetane rating (Octane for diesels) and lubrication for the fuel system.

Lastly, keep reading here, a lot of good info.
