I hope so. I'm not the type of person to run out and buy a truck based off a picture, when I'm really not even due for a new truck yet. But that KR had me going gaga.

The b&p image had me going blahhh.

So basically Ford's marketing team is costing me a lot of money!

This photo is very, very close to the real color.

Color is very much a personal thing, but from seeing the white gold in person - that photo does a good job. If you like that picture, you'll like the truck in white gold.

And as you can see...the picture I posted looks much more gold/tan than the marketing images Ford has been using.

Another good way to see the white gold- go watch the video at Super Duty drive. com

If it comes in looking like that with that same stance I will be Very happy!
My current truck is 2011 pale adobe and I like the color, just thought white gold was a hair lighter.

I'm realizing the pics from normal eye level or above look good. The images from b&p from a crouching lower view point, don't look good. In my opinion.

Yea seeing that pic makes me feel alittle better about the color. Now if I could get a real picture of the Machined 20's with that color combo would be great.

Damn. I want the tires on the truck in the background! They sure have a grip.

The rest of the time the SRW will be better. The 450 looks the best too IMHO. However, that all comes at a cost. Not just the price difference between the trucks. That's only 3k. Add to that a set of winter tires/wheels and a roll up tonneau. Now I'm up to 8k more. Then I loose my ability to plow so I need a larger tractor that can push a blower big enough for my big driveway. Bottom line, when all is said and done, the 450 costs me 30k more. Is the better looks and two weeks a year worth it? Common sense says no. I can afford to go either way and my garage will fit either. Sometimes it's not about if you can but rather if you should....
Rodney;

You are so fortunate to be a key member of the 6.7L section of the FTE forum. Nothing but solid advice here for you. Everyone here has your best interest at heart. You have to get the 450, it's coolest truck on the planet.

Only count 14 build truck pictures. We seem to have a lot of posts for 14 truck buyers. Any more ordered truck pictures? It has been interesting to see what all of you are ordering.

4x4 250 XL Magnetic with locking 3.73, gas with CNG prep kit, power equipment group, and cloth seats.

Mine's not as fancy as the rest of the pack... I prefer a simple and easy to maintain truck, and I'm young and not full of money. :P Here's mine, though. I notice the interior render doesn't show the 4x4 shift control for the non-ESOF.

Really looking forward to this, huge upgrade on my 06 half ton Silverado. Gonna miss my manual, though.
