ill never understand guys who get so upset over another man’s truck. I think -76mm offset wheels with thin stretched tires looks funny. But it’s okay if someone else wants that on their truck…..Maybe youre insecure about your own choice of truck so you feel the urge to have such strong feelings of other trucks.

So if you like a bunch of tacky chrome that’s fine too. That choice is there. If ford didn’t offer chrome anymore and only offered BAP I could understand your frustration. Not being able to get what you prefer would understandably make you upset……but since you can get as much chrome as your heart desires I’m not so sure why you care about someone who doesn’t agree and prefers paint matched/black lol.

here’s some pics to **** you off. I like it, some hate it but that’s what’s great is we can get whatever we want.







Would love to love it, but the gloss next to matte just looks wrong to me. Gloss grille, with matte emblem surround, next to matte bumper inserts? Just looks like an after thought...especially the mirrors. Now, if everything was matte.....wait...it would be an XL then.

This is the first grumpy, upset response I have seen... Nobody is going to get pissed because you post up pics of your truck despite it's BAP...LOL This is an internet discussion, feel free to enjoy it, or don't...

Meanwhile some non BAP truck picks with blazing chrome to burn out your retinas

lol well touché.

bad news I don’t really have a hatred for either so there will be no burning retinas. I think both can be made to look great. I much prefer color match/BAP but I appreciate both.

And yes there are traditionalists who have a burning flame of hatred for color matched or BAP. They “can’t wait till it’s over” etc etc. but too bad for them it’s been around longer than chrome. Ever seen a model t?? Lol

nice looking truck either way!

Give the gloss black ten years and it will be faded to matte. Then the used blacked out trucks will all be sitting in the "We approve everybody" dealer lots.

that’s wild lol.

Why would I care when I won’t own it either way….and why would it fade any more than the rest of a truck’s paint?

it’s literally agate black with clear coat just like the rest of every truck including a chromed out trucks paint.
