I like the new 17" rims for the 09 FX4 myself, the tires look like they have more "meat' on them as well.

thanks for letting me know! I'm thinking about getting a solid blue FX4. But hopefully I can swap for color matched flares by buying some Lariat or Platinum flares if they come in blue?

Derek, I had one more question about the new FX4 models. Do you know if they all come with painted exterior door and tailgate handles? Or are they just painted on the FX4 Luxury package models?

I was wrong. Just the plus model of the FX4 (we built a non-plus the other day).

Hey Derek Have You Built Any Lariats With Non-brown Leather. Just Curious If They Will Have Gray Or Black As The Other Option.

I think he means the Luxury package model (FX4). I saw in this small brochure guide a picture of the blue FX4 and it has painted handles and mirror caps and the caption says FX4 with optional Luxury package.

thanks for the update Derek.
