First Impressions
Well I have 115 Miles on my truck after receiving it last Thursday with 9.1. I know, a lot of you probably drive more than that the first day. 
.
Anyway, everything so far is perfect. No Vibrations, no wind noise, no problems at all. I relish the opportunity to drive it.
My only concern is that the tank is at half, and I started with a full one. Of course I have been making sure the gas pedal is well acquainted with the floor mat. You know, I just need to know what kind of power is available when I need it.
Handling is superb. I just turned in My 2001 Ranger that I have leased for the last 3 years and that thing handled like a milk truck. I would go around a turn at 25 MPH and the tires would be complaining. The F150 takes it like a man, like it was on rails.
The ride is astonishing. For a 4x4 vehicle capable of off road conditions, I am very impressed with it's ability to make bumps disappear. I did take it down a 2 track, and it felt like asphalt.
This $2 Billion (development costs) Truck is worth every penny.

. Different opinions on the break in, so you decide.

Might want to heed to the 1000 mile break in before flooring it too much more.

At exactly 1001 miles, I was able to peg it to the floor at about 25 MPH and was impressed.
The first 1000 miles was like holding an ice cold beer in front me on a hot summer day, but there was a locked plate glass window between me and him
Have fun my man
