When I saw the thread title and your screen name under it, I had to read the post- I know this ride is new territory for you. I hope you enjoy your truck!
On the 24th of this month, I just bought a "new to me" 2002 F150 XL sb, swb.
I have a lot to learn too, but I REALLY enjoy driving it. It makes driving to work enjoyable.
I guess I will spend time in this forum too!

I got a 4.6L. Yes Supercab,I wish it was supercharged. I'm surprised at how good the gas mileage is compared to my old F250 and my 73 Dodge D100

It gets great mileage for a truck. I bought it with a K&N Filter already on it. The Leather interior is in good shape except for one small rip.I'll get a friend to sew it up.Seats so comfy.

This thing has options on it that I never knew came on a truck. The only thing I have to figure out which fuse controls the overhead light it doesn't come on when the door is open and I also have a factory cd changer that I need to find the part that holds the cd's when you load it.

I like them both, were getting 16.5 to 17mpg on hi-way outa the expy...my wife loves that SUV, She was in a bad car wreck in her younger years, in a little honda car bout got killed and will only drive 4x4 that set up a bit with some metal around her...And I drive a 2006 F550 company service truck so it saves me a WAD in gas, not haveing to drive my pickup to work somewhere..Im fortunate..Glad you like the newer truck there nice, I like the 97 to 03 body style better than the newer ones myself, the slope front end is awesome..
