Snakers F-150 STX Lobo Build

I recently purchased my 1st new Ford vehicle. A new F-150 STX Lobo. I would have bought locally, but Beechmont Ford in Cincinnati, gave me a deal I couldn’t pass up. I’m currently waiting on the Supercharger install. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’ve been scouring the forum for information on maintenance, tips, etc. Here’s a pic the sales guy took for me…

More pics…. https://www.ford-trucks.com/g/user/1007744/photos

I’ll take my own pics when I take delivery of this thing I was using the dealerships pics that they had on their website. I think some of them are stock photos because I’m pretty sure all of the Lobo option F150s come with 4 Wheel Drive Auto and I don’t see that on the dash button.

For the life of me I couldn’t find dark mode on this forum so if anybody else is having trouble, on the top right, there’s three dots click that thing and there’s a toggle. I guess with the cover on my iPad, It barely allowed me to get my finger over to the side to touch it. My eyes are thanking me.

Yeah, Dark Mode was a nice addition a few years ago!

Looks like a cool truck!

Welcome aboard!

1000 miles

  • I hear the SC whine more than the exhaust
  • The exhaust has a good tone but is inaudible from inside the cab
  • Power is plentiful
  • Transmission doesn’t bother me (I hate automatics, detest CVT’s, prefer Manual)
  • Bridgestone Alenza tires ride hard and don’t grip for *****
  • Got 19.6 MPG on the 600 mi trip back from the dealership in Cincinnati
  • Averaging 13.3 MPG since break in period is over
  • Plenty of room for my 6’4” 297 lb NFL size self
  • Wife likes the room too
  • Handles Better than expected for something this big
  • needs a rear sway bar
  • software updates almost every night
  • 12” screen is nice with backup camera and Waze
  • I fit comfortably in the back seat
  • like the HVAC controls
  • wish it had a front camera

Interesting to see some real-world observations and experiences with it.

Would you say the supercharger whine is intrusive?

no. It’s noticeable But it’s pretty tame. I don’t think it would be considered annoying at all.

That's cool, glad they kept it under control. Every once in a while I hear something with an upgraded or added supercharger, and the whine is easily audible in all directions for a hundred feet. The sound must get old pretty quickly in those cars . . . at least for most people.
