I think the stripes set the truck off. The stripes come with the appearance package, along with the black wheels,red badging,body colored wheel flares, and red piping on the seats.

no it's just got the standard tow package. 3.73's were standard on the fX4's from '09 up, I believe. I see now that 3.55's are standard on the '13 and 3.73 are an option. Strerling Grey is the only color I think looks good with the appearance package, race red would be a close second. If it were up to me I would've never gotten the appearance package either because I hate the look of 20" wheels, but since it is my wifes DD I figured I better let her get what she wants.

That's a great looking truck. I would have like the graphic better if Ford had used something similar to the graphics on a '70 Boss 302 Mustang.

we already put new tires on. I couldn't stand the crappy looking Pirelli's it came with. We ended up going with some Hankook Dyna Pro ATM's in 275/60/20 and they ended up costing us $250/each. But your right everything else we looked at was pricey. I wanted to go with some BFG AT's, but I wasn't going to pay $400/tire.
