I asked for 35%, the angle I think makes it look darker. I believe the rears are usually 20%.

Love the truck, glad you're enjoying it! Sorry about the speeding ticket, sounds like my luck buddy. Do you guys not have defensive driving ticket dismissal there? I tend to get a ticket for speeding about once every 1.5 years or so it seems. Last one was an area I've been driving for years, they changed the speed limit from 60 to 45 and I was in auto-pilot driving home and forgot. (Had only been like that a week or so.) I wasn't very happy with that one!

Good luck and enjoy. I can't wait to get one!

You should go drive one. Power is awesome, lots of it and very smooth. I was expecting it to be as powerful as my 2010 5.4L but it was much more powerful. The engine is very quiet, love the new powertrain!

I pay the ticket and take "Driver Improvement Program" and no points will be assessed.

Power is amazing! I put almost 350 miles on today for work, loved every second of it.

I think all FX4's come with 3.73 gears and electronic locking differential

Just a tinted license plate cover from Orielly's, MO plates are white and this takes the edge off of them.

I actually ended up closing with an additional $1000 off and 2.6% for 72mo. Payments stayed the same and I don't typically keep vehicles more than 2 years so it was beneficial to me.

Put 350 miles on today, beautiful sunny day and all sort of driving conditions.

1st leg of the trip was heading into a 15mph wind. I was driving 75mph with 400 lbs in the bed. It was a good mix of hills and flats. Got 14.5mpg, not super happy, but this is what I would get with all my other F150's at this speed.

2nd leg of the trip I had about 400lbs in the bed, 65mph, cross wind, I was at 19mpg.

3rd leg was with 800lbs, wind had died down some, 65mph was knocking down 17.5mpg which I was pleased with this given the conditions, mostly hills.

Final leg of the trip was empty, no wind, 80mph, mixed hills and flats, averaged 16.5mpg. Again, I was happy with this, my trucks before on this very leg would have done no better than 14.5 (2010 FX4 5.4L SCrew, 2010 SVT Raptor 5.4L).

With all the stop and go, a bunch of really slow driving in Kansas City, I averaged 15mpg on the tank, not too shabby for now having a total of 450 miles on the truck

Seats are amazing, Navigation is friggin awesome!, ride and quietness was very very nice. Also got a lot of looks from other drivers, even a busa that wanted to play (LOL), guess he knew it had a turbo? But I think he forgot the fact that it weighs 3 tons (I don't know how much it weighs, but you get the point)

Awsome truck love the color looks just like the one I picked up last week. Love the FX4 I'm not a big fan of alot of chrome. The only difference is I got the 5.0.

Nice Looking truck!!! was that $40,000 out the door (including all the dealer admin fees and such) and including the extras you asked for? I have been looking on ford.com and had only seen $500 in rebates....care to share where the $2k in rebates came from? I am searching hard for a 2011 F-150 SuperCrew in either the FX4 or Lariat package w/EcoBoost. Seems like you got a killer deal....congrats!!

Funny story:

The dealer screwed up and in the rush of getting the paper work done they actually gave me an extra $1000 in incentives that I was not supposed to get.

Final numbers were $40,000 with the extras, keep in mind that I did a trade so the numbers can look funny. Though, I bought the Jeep brand new for $42,000 in December (stickered at 46,000, no incentives available), traded it in two days ago and got $38,700 after putting 6000 miles on it (also had about $600 in extras that I kept off the Jeep and will sell on ebay). I lost a little but I have my reasons. I thought I did pretty good given the Jeep was bought brand new a little over 2 months ago. Also, I get supplier pricing on both Chyrsler and Ford (GM to), so that always helps. Though, this F150 price was better than Xplan
