I love the way that they look too and hate the F150 current style and I am not too crazy yet on the new SD style either. They seem so average in styling. Kind of think some Ram and a few GMs are looking better, to my eye these days. Good looking trucks are in the eyes of the beholder though. What looks great to someone might look average to another.
The washing of the truck though is a deal breaker for me. Love a clean truck and I am not going to do it. Have not washed a truck or any vehicle in 25+ years and I don't want to start. I am not in the minority in my area either. Can't remember the last time I saw a neighbor outside with bucket and hose. If I did, I would offer them the $5.00 to get it sprayed off at the station.

So we're getting ready to head south where I will try to get the Fortress Toy Hauler sold and move into the Cottage. The money from the TH will go towards a TT in the 16-20' range..

Howdy gang. Pretty trucks! Only within the last month was there finally a wash close enough to me that I could stop hand washing my truck. Prior to that, it was using well water on a dirt driveway and hoping to make it clean.
Joke time (in Rodney's honor):
Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (MTA) found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from avian flu.
A bird pathologist examined the remains of all the crows and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT avian flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.
However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
MTA then hired an ornithological behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The ornithological behaviorist very quickly concluded the cause: when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout “Cah,” not a single one could shout “Truck.”
Isn’t the animal world amazing!
