Yellow work truck.

2017 F350 CCLB, 6.2, 4.30 axel ratio. We started with a Thunder Creek auxiliary fuel/DEF tank with an internal Webasto heater, 60” Weatherguard toolbox, and 30”x48” Weatherguard packrat toolbox with pullout drawer. I have a 1500 watt power inverter inside the cab for charging batteries. I installed Airlift 7500XL rear air bags with an onboard compressor. All of that stuff was installed months ago.
This week we had a 2” Fabtech leveling kit installed with Skyjacker Nitro 8000 shocks. Then MotoMetal 962 20”x9” 0 offset wheels with Nitto G2 35” x 20 x 11.5 tires. This truck has never driven as nice as it does now with the level tires and new shocks! I am really impressed and pleased with the way it rides and drives! And looks!

Nice truck! What kind of wiring/relay arrangement do you have for the inverter?

The inverter is hooked directly to the battery and I just have a simple power strip under my passenger seat.

Yes it is a factory paint color. It’s a special order only and Ford will only put it on an XL or XLT. They also limit packages for some reason. They did a horrible paint job on this truck but the other 4 trucks that we ordered weren’t too bad. This truck was about three or 4 different shades of yellow with red tints in some areas. The box was an entirely different shade of yellow than the cab. The dealer had this truck re-painted under warranty and it looks great now!

Cool truck!! I wish Ford offered more colors to the single unit buyer. Definitely would have went yellow to match up with the car I'll be towing. Do they call that "School Bus Yellow" like the modern BOSS cars? Looks like a closer match than old yellow car.

I would wear through a spray in liner too. We are fairly tough on these trucks and they will be ready for replacement in 5 or 6 years of construction use with or without a bed liner. I got this truck Sometime around the first week of June and I have about 32,000 miles on it already.
