My First Truck
So after about a month of searching I finally picked up my 05 F250 PSD today. I got well aquatinted with the truck on the 200 mile trip from Huston back to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1>Dallas</st1></st1:city>, and I must say this is my first truck ever and I am very impressed. The truck handles amazingly at speed, loafs along at 1900 RPM’s at 70 mph and has plenty of power on tap to pass. Top it all off the truck just looks mean – and I like it!

A big thanks to y’all for all the great information on this forum and all the OASIS searches, I’d have been lost without it.

It looks like the Amarillo option but it doesn't have the Amarillo decal on the back of the bed, so I'm not quite sure to be honest with you. Oh, and thanks for the compliment.

Thanks! I'm not a big fan of chrome so when I saw this black on yellow combo, it immeaditly caught my eye and when OASIS and test drives came back good I was sold. I just need some black nerf/tubalar steps to help getting into the beast.

You can call Ford (or maybe go on-line) and request a build sheet for your truck. That way, you'll know what options it came with.

Are you just fooling around? Is this one of your subtle sarcasms? How many people know that "amarillo" means yellow in spanish?

The truck looks good. The bumper looks tough.

Sweet Truck, can tell you're in Texas, love the bumpers and grill gaurd. Can't get'em here, but when I visit Texas, they are everywhere. Common staple there.
