Chrome Package???
Now i know Ford doesn't offer the Chrome pacage (17c) on 6.8L (V10) with 4x4.
Now my question is why? What mother%$#@$%@$%#$ reason can they possibly have not to offer this? What would be different if it were a Diesel or 5.4L?

Nice Ride man! Is that Red or Toredar Red? That grille is really growing on me now. Love the chrome step bars and mirror caps too. Best of luck with it. I am jealous! Exactly what I want - A V10 4x4 XLT Long Bed. Damn it.

but it's pretty filthy right now after the rain/ice we had the last couple of days.
I'm not fond of the color but it was the only truck I could find in a 300 mile radius
that had all the options I wanted. I probably would not have ordered the chrome
package, my wife said the grill looks like the back of the refridgerator
I alsowould not have ordered the cab lights, I would have ordered the power seats and
possibly the moon roof. But, you take the best one you can find at the time
and move on. If I tried to order one, they said probably the end of February :eek
I have an appointment on 12/27 for a 7.5 foot western plow. Now I'm looking for another
set of wheels and a set of Revo's for the winter since they don't make the BFG KO's in this size.

I didn't mean to offend anybody but from what i have read and seen you can not get this with the v10 and 4x4.
BTW. That is a damn nice looking red truck. I want the same thing only with a super cab.

No offense Performance Red, that's what this is all about, figuring this stuff out...
Is that order guide strictly for the F350 by any chance? Mine is a 250, I'm wondering if it's
only available on the 6.8L 4x4 F250 models? Doesn't make sense if it is, but Ford had a better idea...
