Parked with my wife and was walking into a restaurant. Couple drunk girls walking past and one said "I'd like to ***** in the back of that thing"....I looked at my wife like a good husband and she said "Any time sweet cheeks" haha. I love that woman.
I'll admit there was a little extra pep in my step walking into that restaurant.

Don...In the Bayou State, love the color of your truck. I noticed in your footer that you have Black interior. When I was building my truck and selected White Gold, it forced to the Brown interior, which I didn't want (no offense to those that have it). So I went with magnetic. Mine is an XLT, maybe that made a difference.

I've received lots of "nice truck" comments and when we go places where both me and my son drive and we park together we always seem to get compliments. Last night the wife and I were sitting on a bench outside a local establishment enjoying a frozen treat when a group of college-aged kids walked of of a restaurant and into the parking lot. A couple of the guys went to my truck and acted like they were going to get in it. They were laughing and carrying on so I wasn't worried they were up to no good. The girls took their pictures and then I hit the remote start. Scared the heck out of them but we all had a laugh.

Has anyone else experienced complete strangers approaching you to compliment you on your truck? After a year of ownership I can't count how many strangers have said "Nice truck"..... I have to agree with them of course. The best one I can remember was from the customer service rep at the Lexus dealership I went to for an inspection...... "If the Zombie apocalypse happens that's the truck I want!" too funny

There is a woman local to me that I have seen driving a truck that appears to be identical to this one. (I live smack in the middle of high-end horse country) She is 40 something and VERY attractive. She lives in the same neighborhood as me and I pass her often. This morning I made a run to Home Depot and parked in my usual spot far out in the lot and a couple of spaces over from what I assumed was "her" truck. I looked over at it as I walked by when I heard a woman's voice say "nice truck". I turned and was surprised to find the woman owner walking toward me in the lot. She asked "that's your white truck right? I really like the clean white appearance." We then spend 10 minutes talking trucks. Turns out she (and her husband) bought her's to pull their horse trailer. She said she got to where she liked the truck so much she seldom drives her Acura SUV and when she and her husband go somewhere together in it, she drives, much to his chagrin.

I had it happen to me again this morning while filling up with fuel at my local Buckee's . A man with a new paper tagged SD asked about my hood deflector and brush guard .

I get more compliments on my truck than my Corvette. 
A couple waited for me to come out of a burger place to talk to me about it. Just yesterday a kid with a skateboard said nice truck as he passed me. I was at my Ford dealer and a cute woman was coming out of service and gave me the nice truck also!
Was at a hotel and a young girl jumped in the bed and had her friend take pictures. I walked out and she scrambled so fast I thought she would hurt herself. I told her it would have been ok, if she asked. I was not mad.

I get compliments all the time, but my favorite was the other day...
I was filling up at a local gas station and an older, white haired lady pulled into the pump opposite me. I noticed her staring and was wondering if I’d offended her somehow, someway or something (it’s not that difficult these days). Finally, she walks over and I’m thinking “ugh...here we go...”
She smiles and says “you know you’re in Alabama when a little old lady comes up to you just to tell you what a nice truck you have.”
I was almost speachless! I laughed and just said “yes ma'am, thank you!” ��

I had an indirect compliment come my way the other night...
I was at a Walmart the other night and was sitting inside my truck waiting on my wife to complete a little shopping. I looked behind me and there was a bright red Ram 2500 parked not far from me. It was a real nice looking truck. In a moment or two a man and woman walked out of Walmart toward the Ram. As they were about to get into it I heard the man say to the woman, "hey, look at that blue Ford. That is a beautiful truck". I just smiled real big as they kept on talking about how good looking my truck was as they were getting in a Dodge Ram to drive away. They never knew I was sitting inside my truck with the window partially rolled down.

We’ve had people stop us in parking lots to talk about the truck, mostly at Home D or Lowe’s even had one couple right up against the grill , she didn’t believe it was running it’s so quiet that he had to convince her that it was, many comment that they love the colour. Had one guy taking pics as we were driving on the freeway, and another circling it and checking everything out in the Lowe’s parking lot, saw him as we were walking back to it. Sure are attention getters.

These trucks are definitely attention *****s. When i first got mine in Dec 2016 shortly after its release it was crazy the amount of attention it got. It still draws the eyes, and even when i get out of it and walk away i look back at it with admiration because they are damn good looking trucks. There is a reason these trucks are selling so well, they have the looks and function to go with it.
