The color wasn't bad, but i don't like a red vehicle..

The color usually fades and looks like crap after a while

I've heard that the body is the same as the F150.

Are they not using the 10 speed trany in the Super Duty?

I know, first wife came with a red buick gs 400 that eventually faded to pink. I'm more into black trucks.
