Smile Ordering a 2008 FX4 Superduty HELP!!!!!

Hello all,
I am new to the list and would first like to say hello.
I am buying a new 2008 FX4 Superduty Diesel, I sat down with the salesperson this past Friday night, I am hoping you guys/gals can give me the answers I need, first thing, I orderd a silver FX4, the sales guy did not know what color the bumpers would be, are they going to be silver??? or grey??? secondly, I went with the chrome package, does anyone know where I can see an 08 FX4
Thanks in advance for your help.....

Build one on the internet ( www.fordvehicles.com ) and then while at "4. SEE SUMMARY" select "SEARCH INVENTORY". From here you can search local dealers for one in-stock close to the one you just built and you can then go there in person to see what it looks like.

The silver color is gone for MY 08. As an earlier poster mentioned, it is Dark Shadow Gray and is a much darker color than silver.

your silver fx4 truck will have the dark shadow gray bumpers, and wheel well moldings (fender flares) but instead of having the body colored mirror caps, yours will be chrome. however, you will have the standard fx4 grill, and not the chrome grill of the chrome package. yet you will still get the chrome tow hooks, bed tie downs, chrome exhaust tips and step bars.
