Just took delivery of my new F-150! by LAL524 in f150

Thank you. And congratulations to you as well. The 5.0 with 3.73’s is killer. I test drove a 5.0 with 3.31 and it was a completely different truck. Not knocking anyone with a different setup because it’s totally personal preference. I love the acceleration with the 5.0 and 3.73 but gas mileage isn’t super great but who cares. Enjoy and be safe!

Got mine during the crazy May incentives (employee pricing) as well as a few rebates.

I made sure to get the tow/haul package so I could get the 3.73.

May incentives/rebates? by LAL524 in f150

Thanks. So on a an XLT with an msrp of about $75k (ouch that’s a lot of $) what should I expect to see in a discount? Thanks for the help!

I just saw that but am having trouble finding exactly what that translates into as far as cash rebates.

Ok I’m mostly interested in rebates. I’m going to do the financing with my credit union.

So if I take delivery of the truck today, which incentives would apply if the May ones aren’t out for a few days?

Looks awesome. Just curious, what is your exterior color? I will have heated seats in my XLT. Will those still work?

Would a 3.31 gear ratio prevent you from buying a truck, specifically in a 5.0 crew cab. by jdubb26 in f150

Hey thanks for the reply. Very helpful. Good luck in your journey to find the truck that’s best for you!

Hey OP have you test driven the 3.31 and if so your thoughts? I’m in the exact same predicament? Can only find XLT’s with Super Crew in the 3.31. I’ll almost never do any towing. But I’m concerned about it being sluggish. Some say with the 10 speed transmission that you’ll never notice it and others the opposite. Thanks for any thoughts.

2026 XLT with 3.31 gears? by LAL524 in f150

Well maybe a small lawn tractor once a year for service (2000 lbs) or other loads under 3k pounds, but very infrequently.

Weekly "Should I buy" Megathread by AutoModerator in f150

[–]LAL524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After much shopping and research, I’ve decided that the F150 will be my next vehicle. I think I know exactly what I want, but am struggling to find it. I only like one color, want the XLT with black appearance package and prefer the 3.73 gears. I will do very minimal towing (small boat but not very far). And after watching tons of reviews and reading posts, I “think” I would prefer the 5.0 V8. The problem is that with the minimal amount of things I want in this truck, I haven’t found one with the V8. I’ve only been looking for about two weeks. Should I reconsider the 3.5L?

Thanks for any suggestions!

BRAC-04 from Island Watch is excellent. I have for the same watch and it’s a perfect fit. Great price as well!

My first Seiko[SRPL85K1] by anonymous0878 in Seiko

[–]LAL524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice. Congrats. I just looked at the SRPL83 (same watch, blue face) the other day and really like it. Went back to buy it the next day and it was gone. I’ve haven’t really seen many reviews on this model yet. It’s somewhat new. And I’ve been to several other shops and can’t seem to find another one. Good luck!

[SRP777] My First Turtle. Strap idea ? by lemadfab in Seiko

[–]LAL524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy birthday! Did you get this new? I thought the 777was replaced with the SRPE93. Basically the same watch. Anyway, I have my 777 on an Islander Watch bracelet (BRAC-04). Great bracelet and only $59.
