2017 Ford F-150

Redditors share with the Internet what Ford goodies they found under the tree.

Do you know what’s better than finding an Xbox under the tree? Cooler than a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle in the stocking? More awesome than your mom’s Christmas ham? A ton of Ford goodies from Santa, of course!

Redditors from our favorite Reddit boards, r/Ford Trucks and r/f150, shared with the Internet what they got for Christmas, and , of course, they’re so badass that they’re worth sharing again! Check out our favorites…

My new F150. Upgraded from a VW Polo.

The above photo is of Error-Loading-Name’s new ride, which has everyone guessing what trim level it is. Anonymous_Chipmunk and nastickm both say it’s likely an F-150 Platinum with the FX4 off-road package. Alexmueller1031 adds that it’s likely a 2015-17 model, based on its face.

Redditor kx885 is on his fourth F-150, which happens to be a 2018 F-150 XL with the STX appearance package.

Upgrading to a 2018 Lariat

Shutupandpractice definitely is making the most of his new F-150 Lariat, whose smooth ride over bumps is a huge improvement over the Tacoma’s “stiff and rugged feeling” persuasion. Having a V8 and a quiet cabin are pluses, too.

Homemade Ford Truck Coin Bank

Of course, new trucks cost big bucks, so start ’em young like MrsVexed‘s dad did for her son with a Ford truck coin bank, so he can afford his first ride when he’s older.

Still Better than a Real Chevy…

Hot Wheels 2008 Ford F-150

In the meantime, her son can enjoy an F-150 like the one originalsmp found in his stocking, who happens to have “a full size 2010 SCREW 6.5 box” in his garage.

Coat of Many Colors

Ayyitsjinx picked up a new project truck for Christmas, specifically a 1979 F-150 Ranger with a 351 V8 and a C6 transmission. He’s the truck’s second owner, too.

Tail Lights Shine Bright

F-150 FX4 Taillights and a Dog

BallReturnReturned’s headline reads: “Mom got into my wish list and I opened these [Anzo USA 311261 Black LED] tail lights this morning. Scarlett approves!”

And so do we, of course!

1999 Ranger is Ready to Work

1999 Ford Ranger

Riseangrypenguin picked up a new (to him) 1999 Ranger for Christmas, which he received from his father “when he got a Tacoma.” This blue beauty is ready to serve as his “little commuter and work truck.”

2018 F-150, A Motorcycle’s New BFF

2018 Ford F-150

RC7plat got his Christmas present early by picking up his first-ever F-150, a “2018 302A 5.0 + BLIS Metalic SCAB.” He says the truck is perfect for hauling his motorcycle in the bed, while his wife and dog ride in the cab.
