I hear ya stufarmer. I have the same colour truck and within a few weeks of buying it, I had 30+ rock chips in the painted front bumper. I got some touch up paint from the dealer, fixed the chips and then immediately got X-Pel put on the bumpers, tailgate, rockers, mirror caps, door sills and above the windshield. I’ve only had one rock chip since and that was just by the fog light where the X-Pel didn’t cover. The factory touch up paint doesn’t seem to have that metallic shine but you can’t tell I did touch ups with the X-Pel on. Worth every penny.

Man I made the dealer do the bra specifically. They drove it to a place about 40 miles away to get it done (and some other stuff because its a rural dealer) and no ****ting aside they turned it back and the dealer had to fix the bumper before they would put a bra on it.

I was wondering why it had almost 180 miles on it when i took delivery and his story of 2 trips and bumper damage lines up.

Bite the bullet and talk to your dealer about a repaint of the front bumper and I highly recommend the bra but I would instead not do the bumpers and hood 1ft back. I would do the bumper again, door edge guards again, complete hood, and no fenders. It’s because the line is real obvious along the hood when its dirty.

Good luck and dont sweat it.

Aren’t the seats the same between the two?

C’mon guys, they’re trucks! I don’t care what they cost, it’s still a truck! That’s right, some of you don’t use them as such... my bad.

I’m a chrome guy. Ford still doesn’t have enough on their trucks. 😳
I do think they are missing the boat. Provide a Built Ford Tough package that has the bediner, carpet delete (not for me), wheel well liners, mud flaps, Line-X (or similar) covered bumpers, satin black grille, alternate add for Line-X two tone (again, not for me), and satin black wheels. I’m thinking this option would go nuts on order day. If they really want a corner on the market, offer selected colors for the Line-X.
