Upgraded

After close to 10 years and 200,000+ miles later.....

It was time to upgrade from the trusty old 2001 XLT and into a 2012 Lariat!

Gotta Love the 2-tone. I have those same wheels, almost rare to see here compared to the sea of blacked out wheels. Nice 01 too!

Love the color combo (even though I typically don't like tan interiors)

Hell of an upgrade!

Thanks Pat and I've heard that from a few people, that they don't care for the tan interior, but......I'm coming from owning a tan truck with a tan interior lmao

Very Nice! When I special ordered my '11 Lariat, I started out with the same color combo. But in '11, with the equipment I wanted, I could only get the Black interior. I wanted the Adobe. So I ordered mine in the Red Candy two-tone. But still love that combo......

Thank you and I almost got a 2014 fx2 and it had the all black interior, headliner, cloth seats, and carpet was all black....it was clean, but it was too dark and boring.

I prefer light colored interiors and exteriors, they don't get anywhere near as hot in the summer. I will not own a vehicle with a black interior ever again.
