Finally found her!
My new '06 F250 FX4 (images from the dealership), and no, I didn't pay near that for her:
2horses Aggie truck
I got a great deal and next week they'll do the spray-on bedliner I had 'em throw in for kicks and giggles! The Sirius holder thingy in the dash will also be removed - it blocks access to the brake controller, which is way more important to me than satellite radio reception....

nice...
p.s. u can mount that sirius holder via suction cup to teh windshield corner.. thats how i have mine mounted... assuming the truck has the needed part, if not u can buy it cheap..
where its mounted now is kinda odd, u'd have to take ur eyes off teh road to change chnls and use the buttons, not safe in my eyes..

Great looking truck!!!! I am sure you will be very happy with it. That is a weird spot for the sat. radio. Mine is up next to the rearview mirror for now. I am planning on moving it. the wires bother Me. I love the sat. radio Where I live very few radio stations come in and even fewer good ones.
Enjoy your new ride

That was great buying it where you did. I am sure that helped them come off the asking price. Like the colors, looks familiar.

That's an OEM grille. I found the same grille on eBay a year ago. The seller had 34 units in inventory. The price was $239.00 plus shipping. I should have purchased one because since then he has raised the selling price three times. It went to $289.00, then 329.00, and now 359.00. I refuse to pay $359.00 for a grille that the seller was making money on at $239.00. He's still selling from the original inventory.

I found a similar aftermaket grille for 1/3 of the price. This is the grille that I'm buying.

Thanks everyone! Have spent the morning running errands in her and OMG the extra room in the back seat is amazing!! I picked up a new receiver hitch and ball for the trailer, since this truck sits up so much higher than the F150 did and now I need to drop the trailer tongue slightly, not push it up... this afternoon I also will be working on changing out the wiring plug on the trailer to match the harness on the truck, wish me luck on getting that right the first time!! Can't wait to throw a couple horses in the trailer and take off, just to see how she does pulling it.
Yeah, the grill that comes with the chrome package caught my eye when I first started looking, and while I can take or leave the chrome tow hooks, the side mirrors with turn signals are a nice part of that package as well. I was told I could get the grill for around $200 if I bought a truck without it. I think it looks sharp!
