Upgraded from White Gold to White Platinum
 
2 Attachment(s)
I ordered my truck the first week you were able to order them. A 250, crew cab, XLT, in White Gold. I wanted to be the first guy running around in a new style super duty. Long story short it, by year end it still hadn't come in and I needed to make a purchase.

So here's my White Platinum Lariat. A little nicer than I wanted but I love it. Have had for a week now. I had planned on putting a plow on my new truck but now I feel like it's too nice for that. Hopefully I'll get over that soon.

I agree! Far too nice to plow with. Buy a second RC Xl to do the plowing. You'll appreciate the shorter wheelbase =-D

Dumb question...
 
Truck looks nice!

I have a 2017 lariat ultimate with painted side mirrors to match the white gold color, which I prefer.

Does this come with the upper end trucks as well?

I assume black caps are xlt, xl.....chrome package is chrome capped..but the others?

Thanks.

I always buy white, but I think I am getting the white platinum too this time around.
I see you have the 6.2, have you checked the MPG's yet?
How is it in the snow with stock tires and no weight in the bed?

The white is sharp. My first truck was white & almost ordered this one White platinum but I spend too much time at ball fields and have a quarter mile gravel driveway. Enjoy the truck.

Good looking truck! Love the cab lights. What brand of low profile toolbox did you go with? And how are you liking the 6.2? I'm going to order one with the 4.30

First tank computer said 9.5 and hand calc said 9.3. I was doing some towing. This tank half way through computer is saying 11.1.

It came with michelins and I'm happy with them. It is a little light in the rear end. I hauled about 500# of mortar to a job and that really helped.

It's a tractor supply branded box made by Deezee. It was a good combination of the right dimensions and the right price but wow that lid is thin.

I'm happy with the 6.2 I have 3.73. Diesel wasn't even a consideration for me. If I can get 11+mpg I'll be happy.

In the Lariat Ultimate package(maybe others too) the mirror caps are color matched UNLESS you order the chrome package.
