First Post

I've been lurking on this site for months now reading, learning and laughing at many of your posts. I pick up my new 2012 F250 tomorrow morning and I couldn't be more excited about it. You helped so much in the decision making process and made me much more knowledgable about the truck I finally decided on.

I've been driving a Cadillac Escalade ESV for the past 6 years and it's been the best vehicle I've ever had. I have experience with the F250 though... I drove an '01 V10 for about three years and besides the gas mileage I loved it.

I just wanted to start this off right by saying thanks to all of you for the information you provide and I look forward to participating in the future.

Cheers!

2012 F250 Lariat Ultimate FX4 Black (not Tuxedo Black) w/ Black Int., Tinted Windows, 20 Wheels, Spray-in bed liner, Nav and moonroof. First up in mods will be speaker upgrades followed by wheels and tires. To be honest, it's awesome just the way it is... but I gotta make it mine right?

Nice truck! Lots of info about speaker upgrades and wheel/tire combo's down in the 6.7 forum. I'm still trying to get approval from the colonel (wife) for some new door speakers, but the amp/sub I went with in my signature is a killer combo. I love the factory nav w/ sync, does everything I need. Door speakers are on hold since I just ordered some new shocks (RS9000's) and will be getting a new steering stabilizer (Carli Bilstein) in the next couple of days, but all in due time.

Beautiful Super Duty! Since you live in TX, you may want to consider an anti-theft device... your Super Duty is a high target risk!
