Hey folks. Just got myself a brand spankin new 2008 F-150. 4x4 4.6L auto.
Had 2.1 miles on her. Got 220 miles 6 hours later. Already lifted the back tire a few times taking it over the rocks. Got it a little muddy and even a few tree rubs. I LOVE this truck. 4wd system is awesome and its got plenty of power too. Gonna order some new tires though. The stock tires are crap. Does a lot better off road than my uncles Z71. Just wanted to share my elation and enthusiasm. Hope to chat with u folks a bit while I upgrade my truck.

 

sweet man.... i just got my brand new 2008 f150 supercrew 4x4 short box 2 weeks ago and already have 2100 kms on it, a cracled tailight, scraped up rocker panels and a broken step bar, and she has been covered in mud since the day i bought her! good luck with the upgrades, im waitin til i pay her off then she's goin up 6" on 35s, cold air intake and nicce dual exhaust!

 

I thought everyone was gonna die when I took it into the mud 2 hours after signing my life away.

 

ya... and by the way im only 17 and i bought it with all my own money lol

 

Good deal. Lots of responsibility at a young age. I am 22 and this is my 1st brand new vehicle. I have always had beaters in the past.

 

ya i traded my first vehicle, 95 f250 which had 305 000kms on it for this one, ima be doin alota long drives for my next job so i wanted somethin i new wld be reliable everyday, and i cld not be happier (and it gets alota looks from the ladies lol)

 

congrats Desert, but

 

Good stuff congrats to you

 

Will have some up soon. Ripped out the stock muffler and put a Flowmaster single chamber muffler with turndown on it. Sounds soooo good now. Not too loud not too quiet. Just right.

 

In before this turns into a 4.6 vs 5.4 bashfest!

Grats on the new truck!

 

Congrats!!! Keep using that 4X4 the way it should be used!

 

Congrats!

You could not have made a better choice than to go with an F-150!

 

I'm thinking of getting the same truck as you. The one I am looking at is 4.6 4X4 Sport package. The sticker is $30,000, but the salesman says that Ford is running employee pricing now. I believe it is an FX2. Crew cab. Going back tommorow to talk about payments.

 

finally someone who isn't afraid to use their truck like a truck!!! congrats guys!!

 

I thought the FX2 model was 4x2 only... Could it be a STX 4x4?
