Hood looks higher than the 99-07's. I have a storage area I built in my garage that is 60.5 inches high (3 inch clearance for hood or back bed rails) How high are the new ones? I think the 250-450 are the same.

Great looking truck, getting used to the front end every time I see them now. Have seen quite a few on the road now.

I think your F-450 is an absolute beauty! There was one just like it at a local dealer for about a week and we had a chance to drive it.
My wife debated long and hard about the exterior colors for the F-450 Lariat order we placed with the dealer (finally settled on white over silver to match our Travel Supreme Fiver) which made our interior color selection a no brainer (medium stone leather was the only option).
Best of luck on your new purchase!

Sat in the Lariat with the mediums stone leather today. I really like it, glad I made that choice too. The only thing that surprised me is it does not have the double visor like my 99. Will have to try to add one on.

Nice looking truck, I like the silver. But like Brandon mentioned, the FX4's (a white one here in Baton Rouge dealership) has all black interior...black carpet, black door panels, black ceiling. Actually, there is no stone color anywhere. Kind of looks like Harley Davidson interior...all black. Maybe they changed interior already.

Nice ride. Congrats!
Not a big fan of the grill treatment on the FX4s, except in silver. It looks pretty sharp in silver.
Love the interior. I'm torn between the FX4 and Lariat, but I may end up with the Lariat because of the leather bench up front. But that interior is hard to resist.
Last time I checked, you can select either a black/stone combo or black/black with the FX4.

You are correct Glock..there is a choice..I personally like the black/black...but the Lariat trim, I prefer the Medium Stone rather than the Tan, I just dont like the tan color, it looks odd to me. The truck still looks awesome though.

Drove the white FX4 w/ black/black last night and first thing noticed was the A/C speed control was not working right. It was stuck on high the whole time. So when we finished the test drive the salesperson told me to park it in front of the service dept. so they can fix it. Oh boy, not even off the lot and already have problems. I do like the new superduties tho...especially the interior. But dern prices are killing me. With $6000 equity in my current truck and xplan pricing...I'm still looking at $800+/month. I pay $600/mo now. I might have to wait, but would pull the trigger if I could make it work. It would have to be silver, white, or grey w/ stone interior on Lariat or black/black on FX4 for me. I too don't care for the tan...although the tan on the 08's are richer than last years color.
