I got my new daily driver the other day. Here are some quick pics I took today, which aren't the best. It has a lot of factory options, so I'm really happy with it.
I've already removed the intake baffeling so I can actually hear the engine and I've removed the geezer pin stripes the car lot put on it
Plans are... 1.A nice intake and cat-back.... for economic reasons, of course
2. A simple leveling kit for the suspension to give it a.... level ride height(lifts the front with solid coil spacers/seat and has longer shocks) 4 years ago, it would have been atleast a 6" lift... I must be getting old
3. Either aftermarket wheels once I need new tires, or slight wheel spacers for the OEM 18's and some beefier 33" meat. again, 4 years ago it'd be 20-22" wheels with atleast 36's

Yes, space rkit for front makes a WORLD of difference. We put one on my Dad's Lariat Screw and looks soooo much better. I hear the 07's have a few cosmetic changes for teh FX4, like body-colored handles and little things. I liwek teh 06 round foglights, so I think I will wait and start looking then.
Another good looking Ford pickup. I really like the layout of the gauges compared to my '06 F150 XLT. Got my truck in Dec. of '05 and have loved every mile driving it.

I've never liked the idea of a shifter in the console for a truck though. I'd pesonally rather have added storage space. One of the reasons I chose an Explorer over a Grand Cherokee.

I was tempted to just get another car, but a truck or SUV opens a lot of options for me while living in Utah.
I really love the interior of the upper end F150's. I do hate the rectangle fog lights, round would have been much better IMO. MPG isn't too bad at about 16-17 per gallon with about 60%+ stop and go. An intake, cat-back and tuning shoud help me bump it up a bit (Like I said before, purely economical mods ).
