Posted the top two pics last Friday when I got my new XLT. New wheels came in yesterday and I put them on after work last night. Took some pics out in the yard today. 20x9 Fuel Mavericks +1mm, 33x12.5R20 Toyo Open Country M/T's because I had them on my Super Duty in 35" and they wore evenly and I got almost 50K out of my first set on that truck. I had dealer install Rough Country 2.5" Front/ 1" rear leveling kit before I picked it up last Friday.
I personally think it's worth it. My 2011 f250 I didn't and it getting pretty bad already, my 13 escape I did and it looks brand new underneath. My 2010 f150 I did, it looked brand new underneath as well when I traded it in.
Just my experience, winters are longer up where I live and they use lots of salt, so for sure worth it for me.
Oh and I use Ming. They have a good warranty as long the vehicle is coated when it's brand new. You have bring it every 2 years to keep the warranty valid and they will touch up any areas where/if the coating has chipped
I selected XLT sport.....really wanted trans on console---just my "thing"......also decided to stay away from cooled seats due to all issues mentioned on this forum. Extremely pleased with truck........only issue was known before purchase.....my truck seems to want to make stops at my local Shell gas station!!

Reason: forgot to include why I choose XLT
Where did you aquire the roush graphics from? I need a hood decal,,,
I have a guy who owns his own business here in the Raleigh/Durham, NC area that does killer custom vinyl graphics as well as full car wraps (from S10 pickups to GT-R's and AMG Mercedes). He also does excellent detailing work. I met him when I was looking for someone to do a higher end detail on the Boss 302 Mustang I had. If you are near this area I can get you his info. Not sure what the policy is on posting it on here.
Here is mine, wish I had a better photo but I can't keep it clean for nicer shots yet. Plus its a working truck
Wanting to do a level on it, but, people are so against them or for them.
I love the XLT Trim, just enough "nice to haves" and no fluff that I personally don't use. Only thing I would change, is I want the damn LED lights... I hate fluff, but, damnit... I want that fluff.
Here's my XLT 2WD with 20x9 LRG 107's wrapped in 275/55R20 BFG KO2's. Swapped the factory running boards for N-Fab textured wheel to wheel nerf bars and Smittybuilt tonneau cover. Also did a Lariat grille swap and some "wanna be" Roush graphics. All that white needed to be broken up a bit!!
Do you have wheels spacers or is that just the wheels offset pushing them out so much? I like it... Makes the stock 275/55r20 tire size look so much bigger.
Just got my first f150 last night, coming out of a 98 ranger. Love the truck its exactly what I wanted. I chose XLT because with the upgrades it turns into a luxury truck without the price of a luxury truck.

Exactly how I feel. Just enough good stuff and none of the stuff I don't want.
Besides, you get the same frame, body and engine as the 60k+ trucks
Loving this truck even more! Last truck couldn't fit a full pallet of pellets in the bed even if it could handle the weight. I had to use my trailer to haul a full ton, and because of the ramp most forklifts had trouble pushing it over the axle. Some even got hung up on the damn hinges.
Not this time! Set it down, pushed it a couple times, close the tailgate, head home! With room to spare no less.
