"Two-Tone" paint VS. "Solid Color"
Well here's asking for trouble ! LOL...
So, who has a Lariat or a "Two-Tone" truck
FordMan seems to have a "Problem" with us 2 Tone Truck Owners, but he's yet to "explain himself"... I personally "Like" my two tone. How about the rest of you ?
Not starting anything w/ya Mr. FordMan, just am curious on peoples thoughts.

Mine is Blue / white, blue top and bottom and white in the middle. At first I didn't think I would like it but it grew on me. Now I wouldn't change.

I have the 2 tone see sig.
I "took" the 2 tone because the truck had everything I wanted otherwise.
It cost me an extra $200.00 or so, but it was either that or wait 4-6 wks for an ordered truck.
The 2 tone does look good but I would have not paid $200.00 for it if I custom ordered my truck.
At the time I bought my F150 I did not know about this site and how economical custom ordering a truck could be.
Before this site I was always under the impresion that dealers charged more for custom ordered stuff.
Think about it: Most of the time when you custom order something it costs much more than something bought from stock.

But, Elvis had an involuntary tremor in his left leg, wore a scarf around his neck and sweated profusely.
In his defense I will say at least he took the time to learn karate. I guess he knew the Beetles had him outnumbered four to one.

Yup, Two-tone rules. Bright Red over Silver...or over dirt if I've been off-roading lately... or over the neighbor's dang cat if I catch it nappin' on my hood again! Oops, sorry to all you cat-lovers out there. Dogs rule too.
