1st Ford Pickup
Hi all... new to the site and ford trucks. I have my new company truck on order and should be here the 1st week of November. 08 F150 XLT Super Cab.
Any issues to look for on this model or things that should be done right away?
thanks in advance

Are you sure it is an 08?
How long ago was it ordered?
As far as I know order taking for 08's have been stop for months now as they are retooling the lines for the 2009 F-150.
If you are taking delivery on the first week of November it has to be an 09
BTW, Welcome to FTE!!

There are absolutely things you should do.
You need to replace....tires, and rims, and lift it, and add a programmer, a cold air intake, and some over-cab lights.
Oh yeah...Welcome to FTE.

thanks guys. Boss said he "ordered it" last week. Probably meant he went to the dealer and picked one out to be delivered in a few weeks. We'll see...
edit: by the way, how well do kids card seats fit in the back of a super cab?

Welcome to FTE. Always nice to see guys from the area join up. As others have said, these trucks are damn near perfect out the door.... sometimes they just ask for personalization

it'll fit, but not the easiest to deal with. i have a s'crew which is awesome, but my wife went with some friends of ours one day in their s'cab and while it fit, getting it in and out was a pain compared to the s'crew...so she said.
congrats, you'll love the truck.

Rear facing seats are nearly impossible in a SCab, unless you don't mind a front seat crammed up toward the dash or flipped nearly all the way forward.
I can only get one of ours to fit in the center position, and it has to wedge in between the upper sections of the front seats.
Luckily, kids aren't that small for too long, and front facing seats are a whole lot easier.
