Thanks,

it's snowy and gray out there right now but, the sun is supposed to put in an appearance in this area tomorrow so I'll be out there with the camera to get some more pics (including some interior shots).

regarding the interior, I had thought I would prefer the tan interior (which is what my '06 had) but, then I saw how the grey cloth looks for these trucks and I really liked it alot so I'm glad that the truck we ended up finding had the grey interior. Still kinda annoyed about the lack of a grab handle on the a-pillar though...

btw, who at Ford comes up with these color names anyways? Blue Flame? Race Red? Red Candy?

more pics as requested...

okay, you wanted some more pics so, here they are!

and, the interior...

The black carpet looks great and, along with all the darker trim pieces it really helps give the lighter gray trim and seating areas a very sharp look.

And now I actually do have a gripe about the interior... why did they reduce the size of the compartment in the center fold-down armrest? on my '06 I had a ton of room for cd's, assorted papers, altoids tins, cell phone power cords, etc... but now for some reason they have reduced the size of this compartment so that it can no longer hold even ONE cd case! I don't see any reason why it needed to be reduced in size so I definitely am annoyed about this one.

Looks great! Just out of curiosity, is that console like the ones in the Super Duty, where the bottom of the center seat cushion flips up and has storage inside?

Thats how my '10 is. Congrads Wolf and definately like the "bling pkg" with the 18" wheels and the nicest grille in the line-up. Just like mine
