My new ride

[DRTYAPE_SRT]

Just got a 2023 F150 XL, 5.0 coyote, 10 speed, 2wd.

I had an antimatter blue picked out but changed my mind and went with Oxford White after seeing antimatter in person.

I’m going to lower it with a ridetech suspension, color matching bumpers, door handles, mirrors, fender “vents” and possibly the grill if not swap to an stx version.

I have Shelby 22’s for now and might pick up some 20” welds.

It’ll be also getting Baer Brakes.

I’ll probably keep it N/A with an E85/flex tune from Livernois Motorsports.

My first truck was a short bed standard cab. Don't see many of them around anymore.
Good work! Keep us posted on the build.

those things can be absolute rocket ships

Looks like a power company truck

Congrats, that's fantastic!

I love those trucks, especially in white.

Edit: Line lock should be standard on trucks like that - lol.

Rarely see just a single regular cab. Congrats.

Nice Lightning!

 

[mysticsvt]

Nice, will look great when your vision comes out.

 

[gimmie11s]

LOVE it. I'd love to do a massive single turbo build on one of those... congrats!

Nice! I see you are AZ too.
I was so close to ordering a reg cab sb 5.0 and couldn't chose between a 4x2 or 4x4 as it was a full 5k difference. I ended up ordering a Reg Cab 250 4x4 with the new 500hp 1200tq 6.7 instead. Agate Black. Will hopefully find easy way to lower it 4" and use it to tow my car hauler. I was able to order under Z plan with a huge discount.

1987-88 Turbo tbird in background?

Man that’s bad ass. I can never seem to find 5.0L A10 single cabs.

I like the factory steelies better. Have them widened and throw some fat meats on them while keeping them tucked in. Love me an innocent parts delivering looking sleeper truck.

Yes I also have a build thread on it here but haven’t updated it in a while.

I am looking forward to following this build. I would love a canvas like this to work with. By the way, I am going to need moar pics and info on the 88 T-bird TC in the garage. I have an affinity for those cars

Can't wait to see what you do with it! Although...doesn't this gen of 5.0 have cylinder deactivation...? With all the issues the GM trucks are having, hopefully Fords system won't be as problemactic.

Oh, with my 5.0/10sp/3.73 truck...the drone was brutal when I tried to do anything with aftermarket exhaust.
I found this thread and built my own "Helmholtz resonator" and it completely solved the problem.

Exhaust Drone Cure - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans

2009 - 2014 Ford F150 - Exhaust Drone Cure - Cure or bandaid, I'm not sure. I have a 2012 5.0L and replaced the stock muffler with a Magnaflow 3 SISO, along with replacing the pipe from the muffler to the factory ball/socket flange with a 3 pipe (retained the factory tailpipe). No surprise, it...
