No, it has nothing to do with the exposure of the picture.
The truck came from the dealer like this, and is supposedly fresh from the factory (but it had 127 miles on it, uh, huh).
10 points to the first person with the right answer.

I'm not sure at the moment.
This purchase has been the single worst new car buying experience I've had to date. I've only bought two new before this, so I'm not exactly whatcha call "experienced", but what a pain. I was too distracted by other hassles to even notice this while I was at the dealer.
I'm half inclined to take it to the dealer and tell them to put another chrome one on for free given the headache they gave me when picking this thing up. The puddle light on the chrome one is kinda snifty. 99% of the bad experience is on the dealer's side, this mirror goof is just the icing on the cake (or should I say chit sandwich).

The chrome mirror is what comes with the Lariat chrome package (it has the puddle light on it too), the other is the standard mirror.

Yeah, the puddle does work. I would have never guessed how much light it throws out until I saw it. It's a fairly neat feature now that I've seen it.
I've seen those chrome sticks ons... I'll pass, thanks.
I don't know how to tell what day it was actually built. The sticker has a 1/31/07 date on it (a Wed), but it was ordered on about 1/19/07, so would it really have been assembled that soon or was that just when the sticker was printed?

I read it in another post about tire problems/vibrations. The guy was told buy a dealership that for only rcommends BFG, Goodyear, Or generals. I see now that they are using Pirelli tires. Maybe they were just blowing smoke up his .ss. I know you can put any tire you want on these trucks, but I think they were misleading him.

Is Ford really building trucks from order to build in only two weeks? Things must really be slow. Did the dealer give you the window sticker with the truck? I almost wonder if it got the miles on it from a dealer trade instead of a factory order.
