There has got to be nothing better than a 2017 black Platinum Super Duty. I think it is the poster-child color / trim level of this generation truck.

Its a beaut. I see you opted to avoid the upfitter switches and carpeting.

I've said this all along. While there is no way you would catch me owning a black truck, the black Platinums are the best looking of the model. A black 450 Platinum is absolutely stunning in person (when clean).

As the owner of a white platinum platinum I agree. The black looks fantastic, just impossible to keep it looking that way.

Great looking truck Ark!

Thank you gentlemen. Got my 4" lift done today

It's dirty. I drove 2-1/2 hours each way to get the work done all in a day.
I'll post fresh ones once I have it clean Sunday.

Getting the other windows tinted next week as well.

Looks great! Love black trucks! I had to take a break from black this time (my shoulder needed break). I'm interested in knowing how your tire ware is on the Open Country's. I had a set on my O8 sdcclb V10 and they were DONE at 35000. I even rotated every 5000 miles, but I loved those tires! Wondering if the new Open country last longer. Good luck with the new ride! It looks awesome!
