Another thing you need to learn is that when your wife is wrong it is smarter not to mention it. I know that because my wife taught me that.

I agree with BigDaveWilson about the skid plates- not much to them.

I don't know if there is much of a difference in the Lariet or the FX4. When I was looking for a new truck I drove both and ended up with the FX4. While test driving them I drove on a few rough roads, speed bumps and some railroad crossings and the FX4 just had a better ride over all to me.

I also liked the interior in the FX4 better than the Lariet. You lose the extra seat in the front when you opt for the center console but I think it is a pretty good trade off. So far I have been very happy with my truck. The only difference I noticed once I got the truck home was that the back seats were mounted to the back of the cab. On the Lariet I noticed that they would fold down. If you need the room in the cab I would opt for the Lariet.

Can't go wrong with any Ford F series. And you can add any off road stuff, so get what you want, then mod away after

My plain ol' 2006 XLT screw came with LS and skid plates, so you can get just about anything you want...
