Talking New Truck

I bought a new 2019 F-150 XL. I got the Standard Cab, 6.5 foot bed, 3.3L V6, Blue Jean with 101A and Chrome packages. I really like this truck. I will not be hauling or towing heavy loads, so this package seems more than capable to satisfy my needs. I have the 3.55 rear end, which seems to be a perfect fit for this truck. I have some questions about gasoline and will start a new thread for recommendations.

Nice. An XL with a good color and chrome. Most are white with black bumpers.

Neat to hear of someone that doesn't need 400HP and all the frills!

I like the 3.3 a lot. It has more torque than I was expecting. That being said, I wanted a 3.73 rear differential but the only trucks in stock configured the way I wanted had the 3.55. The 3.55 is okay, but it does lug the little motor down a bit under load. I think that 3.73 or even 4.10 gears might be a better fit for this motor.

I recently bought a 2019 F-150 XLT Scab with 6.5’ bed and 3.3L. That little motor does a surprisingly decent job even w/3.55 rear.

I’ve owned 150s with 3.5EB, 2.7EB and now 3.3L. My favorite is the 2.7L but for the price I paid for the 2019 w/3.3L it was a good deal.
