You know, I've always thought us here have good tastes in trucks, but now old RigTrash, well, he's right up there with me!

Must be a Mississippi Thang!


Still trying to figure the truck out myself, it's smarter than I am for sure!

Congrats Gene!!! I am really happy for you! You didn't mess around and got a Platinum too...great choice!

I remember @PrinceValium doing the same thing for over a year. Think I first read his posts on the 6.7L forum.
Yes sir you are correct!! I was dead set on getting that F250 for awhile there.

I know I laughed when I saw that and then thought hmm...mine used to look like that too!

Beautiful truck, congrats. I've had mine for 6 weeks now and still grin every morning when I walk outside and she her in the driveway.

Yep, I just came back in from giving her a little pet on the grille. 183 trouble free miles.

Oh, Prince, welcome back! I just noticed you now have the Explorer! One of my brother in laws bought one last year, but not Ecoboost. He buys a new Ford about every three years, told me he never has to buy tires, battery, things like that. Ever. And, he just writes his dealer a check, in full.

Dude. Gene. You gotta get wheel well liners. Especially with a white Platinum. That exposed white inside the rear wheel wells looks so... XLT.

Wheel well liners, eh? Think I'll check into that. I need/want tonneau cover too. Then my hound will have the whole back to herself. Except most of the time, being in back is too far away from me. She likes to creep up front lay head on lap.

For sure! Mine is the ingot silver, and the wheel well liners made a significant improvement when it "blacked out" the inside of the wheel wells.

Congrats on the new truck Gene! That driveshaft sure looks perty! Lol
So your truck comes when it's called huh? How do you teach it to do that? I've had my old blue truck for 10 years, it never came when I called it by name. Maybe I wasn't doing it right!

It detected I wasn't driving real steady. Let me see if I can get some pics here...

Maybe more guys should post pictures of their drive shafts when they purchase new trucks. The world would be a better place for it.
