Good run down Scags and Matt with the good add on. We forgot Gallows. In the trades (plumbing?) and buying new tractor and truck at the same time $$. If I remember right, it’s an XLT. Here, I’ve posted this before (not mine)




Anyways dudes, I got away from being tied up to the fence post long enough to run to the grocery store. Lean ground beef is now $9/lb. It has gone up double since the rona hit our meat packing plants a month or two ago. Damn, they don’t even offer financing 🤪

Oh, Scags, my limited doesn’t count. I charge out for the truck so it doesn’t cost me a dime. 100% right off as well. I was a proud member of the SLT crowd so converting to the blue oval bunch would put me in the XLT crowd. 👍

Funny you say that, I made a grocery trip this morning myself. Lean ground beef $4 lb. Here. Corona beer $14.89 12 pk.
I can ship you some ground beef heavily disguised in a box of urinal cakes. They make good insulators too. 🤣🤣

$4usd is about $700cad. 😂

I do like the two tone look. Are those platinum wheels on the truck? In channel window visors or stick on?

Edit. I can see they are stick on ones.

I didn’t know lariats came with those wheels. I have the in channels and took a while to get them worked in enough so the issues would go away. In channels are garbage. My windows are scratched to hell for the top 1/2”. Would not recommend even to my worst enemy. Lol

Edit. Looked it up. Lariat and platinum wheels have the same look just platinums are listed as “polished” chrome.

Fitting pic for the XLT owner although I had a couple urges for Negan's spiked bat for some of the road talent today. No build date for the truck but some orange components are coming together.

I think the chrome package gets those wheels on the Lariat.

Do you guys use those vent visors because you smoke?

Yes, on the chrome package.
No, on the smoking. (Once in awhile with a few beers. Never ever in truck!).
I just like the visors, you can keep windows cracked in summer & rain wont get in.
