It's probably a leased truck he doesn't care about.

It looks as if he's on the once a year wash schedule.

Don't be too hard on the guy. It's probably accumulated brake dust from the trip of five miles he had from his house to the mall. My wheels have a haze on them all too quickly. You have to be dedicated to keep up.

Nevertheless, that condition is unacceptable for more dedicated F-150 owners.

You're right about that. The pads they put on these trucks remind me of the mid 80's BMW's, remember how many of those you saw running around with black front wheels and silver rears? I got a set of those brake dust sheilds and they work great!

I bet if you get the full pic of the truck you would see utility ladders and truck lettering saying “J&J Roofing”. I am going to place my bet that this particular truck is used as a work horse. It could be a company truck that’s being totally used/(abused). But that’s where my vote goes….

No it was a lariat with no signs of being a work truck.

my wheels look like that, but not as bad since i changed my pads. About the only time my truck gets washed is when it rains. I have prolly had it washed 4-5 time this year. After all it is a truck.

You guys upset about those wheels are probably the same guys with the shiny F150 that drive through the parking lots and slow down to 1 MPH to roll over a speed bump!!!!
