Hope all is well fellas.

A few photos I took of my new King Ranch alongside my fathers Ruby Red F450. He honestly sold me once I drove his 450 during a 3 hour drive.

350 miles in I'm loving the truck more everyday... Slapped on a shorty antenna & matched the front window tint to the oem rears. Leveling kit & wheels on the way!

Have a a blessed day.

What did you go with for wheels?
I have the same color KR but trying to decide weather to go black or chrome or try and get carabu and polished. Idk. I'm lost on the wheels. I like black the best but don't know if it will go.

Thank you for the compliments!

@17350kr I personally went with 20s in black. I can always repair the painted wheel if needed or change colors anytime. Chrome limits future options.. Still not sure if 35s or 37s for tires though (I would love to keep the ride as original as possible)

That first photo is very classic with the two new Fords on the masonry cobblestone drive with nice landscaping surrounding. It could be in a magazine.

Congrats on both Fords in your family.

Thanks @stewy604 ! The F-450 turning radius is very impressive. Your truck is beautiful though

Waiting on my flares to arrive

Awesome trucks and even better photography! It's great to see such pride in ownership for both your trucks and your real estate.

A fun thread to see for me. I have a '17 KR, my son is just completing a Lemon Law return on his Dodge and will soon be looking to purchase a Super Duty.

@troverman @f350ktm Thank you both for the kind words! Hope your son gets the lemon law issue resolved. Looking to see more family trucks myself. Happy Sunday

Like you I was also converted by my dad. Him, the white gold. After driving his several times I knew I had to
have one. So far I've been very pleased with mine.
