Nice truck! I have the supercab version of your truck. Just lowered mine last weekend and it looks great. I would recommend it, I just think it's how a sporty truck like the FX2 should look.

Very nice truck !!

What was the 99 you traded in, I traded in my 97' F150 4x4 XLT 2 years ago with all kinds of problems and got almost $6,000 for it.

We traded in a '99 SuperCab XLT w/138k on it... no problems, but book was about $4700 person to person, so $4k was great to me.

The very next weekend I got a call from the father of a girl that was test driving it from the same lot we traded it to. It was clean enough that they sold it from right there within a week. Most dealers move them to other small lots, but ours was super clean.

Our '06 was the same way. They had it out on the front row for sale by the next morning...

Congrats, excellent choice an excellent color. White badges with black in-lays and painting the black bumper step guard white would make it pop very nicely.

i barely got 6500 for my 02 lariat screw nov. 07, it did have 140k miles on it and i had scratched the rear door coming down on a rock or something on a trail other than that it looked brand new. i knew i was getting ripped but it was my dads money and he wouldn't let me sell it for him.

new truck looks good, my friend has the exact same truck as you traded in.

I didn't think about it, but it's probably because of how the economy is now is why resale is sooooo low. My truck had over 200,000 on it and not very clean.

Well, my wife wrecked the FX2 in January....

So she had to drive it with no bumper or grille for nearly 5 months.:o

We just got it back this weekend.

OUCH!

Ugh!

Hideous!

Somewhat cool...

But dorky lookin'...

Return of the Jedi!

I gotta make a new signature now...
