    Decked bed storage. Ceramic 20% tint sides/back with 70% on the front.
    I've had 4 F150s since 1997. My last and favorite was a 2018 until 97K when the transmission started going out and Ford telling me that it would be at least a 4 month wait (without my truck or a loaner).
    After deciding to trade it in instead of waiting, my local Ford dealer wanted to bake me on interest rates (with outstanding credit). They called several times over the next 24 hours with better offers but I made a trip to the Toyota dealership to check out a Tundra. The last body style of the most reliable truck on the road...why not? One hour later, and I'm a Tundra guy! While I miss the acceleration (I know, it's not much but it's quite noticeable), I simply feel like I'm driving a better made vehicle.
    I'll be checking around for some minor performance mods but aside from the Decked storage in the back, I'm not looking to do much other than adding an RSI bed cap (when they become available :/)

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Get a Pedal Commander or one of the similar devices and you won't miss the Ford's acceleration one bit.

    Or just hit the tow/ haul button for more aggressive acceleration.

    Welcome! Great looking truck you have there.

    I used to only use tow/haul when I was actually towing/hauling. Then I joined Tundras.com and learned to enjoy my truck a little more! :burnrubber:
