What are some of the things you like ( appearence wise ) about your truck. For me..i love the way they ride...etc...but i think Ford needs to shorten the bed back up a bit..what other things do you think would look better? Oh yeah....be like dodge and put some friggin decent tires and RIMS on there.

Right now I'm in that "First Date" stage with my truck.. so I haven't found a problem yet.. well... maybe a couple.. I do not like the plastic fuel door.. but I fixed that with a billet one that on the way... and I hate having no dead pedal.. I'm fabbing something up to take care of that...

Beside those two gripes.. I love everything about it.. the front end on my FX4 looks tuff.. plus the stock height is nice... I love seeing chevy and dodge drivers staring at my door, since I'm so much higher..

I would like to see it have a more level appearance from the factory. I would have liked to have seen (for the '04) the 6 1/2 ' bed with the true 4 door (Screw). I hear it'll be available on the '05, but that won't do me any good since I had to make a change this year.

I wish they would of put a complete lower grill in, not just to those little parts on the side. Would still allow air flow, but woudl have that "open mouth" look to it.

I fixed that with one of these -- it looks completely stock!

Looks nice...but...$54.00 for a 15 to 20 dollar piece of injected molded plastic!? That hole is looking better and better....
He must be and all the way to the bank.

Saw those, been thinking about it. Are they worth the $55? Does it look good?

Lariat leather seats are a bit on the firm side
I HATE the tilt wheel "pinch" release handle - gimme spring loaded
No side protection - but I have a plan for that
Wish the Lariat memory seat package included power seat back and mirrors

that's about it - great truck otherwise and I'm loving it

LOL, I agree, a bit too much for a plastic grille piece. But, considering the fact that I couldn't make one myself, and I couldn't find one of these from any other vendor, I felt it was more than worth it to cover up that gaping hole.

Hmmm... where'd you hear that? Wouldn't mind getting the 6 1/2 ft. bed with my Supercrew in 05

As long as you like it, thats all that matters...i just think it is a shame that these companies jack up the price so much.
