New 2018

Hi All,

Just picked up my first ford since like 2000 and am looking forward to using it.
Went looking for a 2017 250 and ended up with a 2018 king ranch f150.

I'll be hanging out learning all I can on here as the sync system and all are a little different than the GM I had and I drive my wife does. Anyway so far I'm happy!

Thanks all. Looking forward to learning all about it.

Thinking it really could use a slightly larger tire too... 285s maybe but gonna wait a while first.

Congratulations - Be prepared to spend many evenings with the owners manual. Its only 600+ pages long.

What's an owners manual? Never read them.

Congrats on the King Ranch.

What engine did you get and what package.

Hey, It's a truck with a key and a switch to put the key into. Pretty much the same as the '59 chevy I had as my first car. Main difference is now I can run music through the stereo without wires.

GABAR- loaded out king ranch with the 3.5 ecoboost. I don't think there is option left off this thing... so far I love it. Tight fit in the garage though. Wanted to make sure no damage when Irma came through the other night.







Tight fit in the garage though...

Nope. It has a fob and a button.

The drivers door has a lock that the key hidden in the fob can open.
No keyed ignition.

I hope you have many trouble free miles.

The new Fords are amazing.
Thought my '13 Plat was great, but it is not even close to the '17.
Second gen 3.5 is the way to go.

No fob and no button. No fancy pants truck here. XLT's have more capability...
