New truck, new desert adventures!

[Rattlesnake]

My girl and I are huge fans of the Arizona desert, venturing out as much as work allows for exploring, hiking, scenery and photography.

Just picked up this like-new 2017 F150 (twin turbo 3.5L, 36 gallon fuel tank, moon roofs, 6" lift, 35" tires) so we can explore those trails we couldn't drive down before in our car -- and to allow us to get into camping. I've already taken it down a 35 mile trail. Crazy fun!

Obviously, I have a lot to learn about how to put this truck to good use, that's why I am here.

Thanks for having me.

Hey, great truck. I have had the pleasure of renting a few of those and I had a great time with them.
As it is it looks like it will work well for the stuff you want to do. Get a decent ground tent and some basic camping gear and you are set to have some fun.
As time goes on and you use the truck and get out there with it you will find that you want to change your set up, but you won't know how till you get out there.
So, get out and have some fun, that is a great truck and a great start to many fun miles ahead.
