Not New, but....

I thought I did this years ago, but apparently not.

From Maryland, been a ford truck owner since 1990.

Back when I started this, I owned a 1990 Ford Ranger (2.9L, Extended Cab, Extended bed) that I had all modded out for light off road use. I sold that after it being a back-up to a brand new 2004 F-150, for about 5 years.

I still own the 2004 F-150 (5.4L, supercrew, larger tires, tool box with tonaue cover, upgraded stereo and sound, upgraded head and tail lights), it has about 370,000 miles on it and is the back-up to my current daily driver.

Current daily driver is my Father's 2016 F-150( 2.7L ecoboost, Race Red, supercrew, 5.5' bed) that I acquired from his estate about three years ago. Since then I have put on larger tires (with forscan updates for the speedo), forscan updates to various options (lane change count, key notification, etc.), updated the factory radio so it works with my smart phone without any additional accessories. I am waiting for spring to upgrade the factory halogen head and tail lights to factory LED units, and I am working on getting the parts together to upgrade the factory mirrors to factory power fold/extend tow mirrors.
