yeah, the FX4 will still be available two-tone. I got the silver two-tone FX4 right now.

thanks for the info dd. i was wondering if you have seen any xlt's without the chrome package, and if you have can you discribe the grill.is it painted or chromed out. Also are they bringing back the fx2. thanks in advance for the info.

[robey1]

what about gray leather? the new f250s lariats have brown or gray leather and the fx4 is black only. should we expect the old f150 configurations, (i.e. lariat brown or black and fx4 gray or black) the new f250, or something different. my 97 150 has gray leather and gray or black plastic. i wish you could get a fx4 interior with lariat exterior.

But we have done a lot non-two-tones so I'll check if they are still in the plant somewhere.

Derek, did you happen to look at the solid color (non two-tone) FX4's yet to see if they color matched or just grey fender flares? thanks.

Funny thing is we built an FX4 on Friday....the truck was gray

I think we are building another one mid week that is not gray so I'll be sure to check that one out.

[SteveVFX4]

^aw geez, ok thanks, just let me know then. I'm guessing the FX4 flares are going to be grey just like on the current model.

I'll keep you mind.
On a side note, I drove the FX4 on Saturday (brief drive in complex) and I don't know if it was because I've been a part of this program for two years or because the truck is that great but I was "giddy" as a school girl behind that wheel!

[ArtsBest]

Excuse my ignorance but is the Platinum model ONLY available in the crew configuration?

Good and steady acceleration.
18" wheels are an option (doubt if you can get lariat rims)
Bugs are not worked out yet, thats why we are having trial runs.

Testing mostly

What kind of bugs are we talking? Motor, tranny, or major bugs? Or somthing small like the doors dont always lock?

[DearbornDerek]

Just little glitches of putting together an all new truck, learing how to get things right.
