I went back and fourth on the strip, and in the end, I actually don't mind it probably because it's quite subtle on the dark red (ruby red). Had I gone with white or the grey's, I would have yanked it in a heart beat.

Been driving it for a week now, and enjoying it more and more. One thing I have been impressed with is the Ford Sync MyTouch or whatever it's called. From what I have read, the early generations were quite buggy, but so far it's been good; far better than the system in my wife's 2012 Durango RT. The only thing that bothered me was all the voice confirmations, which I was able to turn off using the advanced settings.

Looks like the curb stop is sticking up out of the sidewalk? What is that under your front tire? Very nice truck, good luck!

AND... 2 payments later and the truck is sold.

I've a 28' TT that I tow, with dirt bikes, fuel, and a generator in the bed of the truck. Total towing weight is around 6500 - 7000lbs max. I was told I could not order the truck with any other gearing than 3.55's, which was not true. The 7350 towing capacity on the truck just did not cut it, so I was fortunately able to sell it for the same amount I paid, minus the cost of 3M and tinting. /phew

The new truck was on order two weeks ago, configured identical to this one except with an EB, max tow, and 3.73 gearing. Gonna miss the V8 sound for sure, but confident this is the configuration I should have ordered originally.

Huh? Man, I was just getting into this new red 5.0! Man, you move quick!! What was that you traded for the 5.0, an '11? Oh me, I'm still tooling around in my '02.
