Nice to see the changes, Takeda. Did the towing mirrors come standard? And, is that white paint a "pearl" paint? I like the electronic engine gauges in the dash too. I'm sure you're going to have fun driving it and making it "your own".

Thank you Jack! The paint color is "white platinum" (tri-coat). I think the mirrors came with the towing package. Even though I don't plan on towing, I wanted the transmission cooler. What a driver! Smooth, quiet, comfortable!
And the 5.0L has a wonderful exhaust tone.

I'll be curious to see your impressions of the tow mirrors in everyday non-towing use. I have shied away from getting any as I don't tow much but when I do, the 8.5' enclosed sled trailer requires some extenders.

Nice looking truck.

Thank you! The mirrors work very well for non-towing. They are all power, they can be folded in against the windows when you are parked, or if you do use them for towing, they can be extended out.

Didn't notice the tach at 0, my truck the CEL does not stay on when the truck is not running, but key turned to "on", it comes on, then goes off once the chimes stop beeping (a few seconds)
