2021 F150 Lariat 5.0 4x4 Ex Cab Antimatter Blue
I bought my 21 used about a year ago and am so glad I decided to buy used instead of ordering one as my truck has all the options i wanted and some that you can’t get in a xlt anymore.
I’ve thought about trading in a few times but then posts like these remind me that i should plan on keeping it for the foreseeable future
I completely agree, the 2021 trucks were fully featured with everything the designers could think of. It's sad to watch these trucks slowly be de-contented. 21 was a penultimate year for the F-150 and I don't know what I'm going to do when it comes time to replace mine either.

Very nice truck! Antimatter blue is a great color. It's very disappointing to see that Ford has gotten so cheap that they can't even paint the inner fenders anymore. My 2021 inners are fully painted with Antimatter blue. Come on Ford really these are very expensive trucks!
Did Ford ever paint the fenders? My 2011 didn't have paint there either. It wasn't as obvious with the color I had and didn't bother me enough at the time to do anything about it though.

I'm not sure why some are painted, and others are not. The last 2 trucks I've had prior to my 21 both came with the inner fenders fully painted. All 3 were produced at the Kansas plant, It could be a difference in where thy where produced, but that's really just a guess.

Added a collapsible wood bed organizer. Super simple and works perfect for my needs. Will probably paint it black. All three dividers just slide off and I can throw against the back to use the full bed when necessary.

Figured my first post would be here. I'm old and my wife has mobility issues so I installed F250 OEM running boards. Don't hate the look and function is much better. Was pleasantly surprised to find that the F150 had the studs for the middle set of hangers.

Those actually don’t look bad. I liked the functionality of the running boards on my F250. I thought the step up into the truck and seat was perfect. My F150 came without boards but I have a set of OEM extended boards delivering tomorrow. I was considering adding the F250 brackets to lower them but I was afraid they would be too low without leveling the truck or something. I think yours looks fine and I may just go ahead and get the brackets now. I originally didn’t get the boards when the truck was new because I felt like the F150 boards were just too high and not that functional compared to the lower setting of the 250 boards.

Got the transfer case protection plate installed this morning. Ford part number jl3z-7e063-a. I ordered for a 2020 F150 FX4, I have a β€˜24 Powerboost.

Take note, one hole needs relocated on the cover.

Do you think that they needed the thirds bracket. I relive the F150 only came with two I just wonder if the longer bracket made it necessary to add the third bracket.
