For those of you that wanted to see pictures of the new ride, I've created a gallery album on the website for viewing the truck. I've been getting between 16.5 and 17 mpg driving back and forth to work. My work drive is about 30 miles each way from Christiansburg to Roanoke.

I don't plan on driving it everyday as I don't want the mileage to pile up on it. It's a very comfortable ride!

The pictures look great. When I get around to buying a truck, and assuming it is a Ford, and I am leaning that way at this time, then that is the color I am getting.

It is the most classy out there.

To me the AZ beige does look like a neutral "beige" and not brassy "gold", which is exactly what I am looking for. And the two tone does break up the long tall sides of the truck. I believe that the color rendition is coming thru ok on my monitor. Of course I will still check it out for real, when I seen the truck in person at the dealership.

Good luck with the new truck.

 

You're right about the Arizona Beige not being too dull or too reflective. It's a great combination and you really appreciate it when you see it in person. We had a solid white Lariet SuperCrew at the dealership that I was able to see as well. While the white looked nice (had the chrome front and rear bumpers that come with a monotine paint scheme), I preferred the 2-tone.

You'll notice that my '97 above in this thread is solid white color. Back in 1996 the only way you could get the Off-Road package and the 17 inch wheels in an XLT was to get a solid color...not a 2-tone. I came close to painting the lower body and fender flares a few times.
