The wait is over check out my new truck

I ordered this truck on Oct 30th and it arrived on Jan 8th. Its Candy Red with Stone interior, 4x4, navigation, side steps, skid plates, 6 1/2' bed. I have to say (coming from a 06 F150 4x4 with the 6 1/2' bed that was an awsome truck for 4 years) that this truck is an amazing step up.

Thanks guys. I highly recommend the Sirius travel link and the Sync system also. My lively hood pretty well revolves around the weather and with the travel link you get the current rader, 5 day forcast and current weather with out having to drag the cell phone out while driving. This truck has a 36 gallon tank on it and the first time I filled it up I ask for fuel prices from the travel link and it showed 4 stations with in 2 miles of my location one was 12 cents a gallon cheaper than the other 3 so thats where I went. I put 33 gallons in it which is about a 4 dollars savings. I was a little worried about the nav system being a $2300 toy that I would never use after the first couple of weeks not having used one before. But I believe now since using the system that the nav coupled with the Sirius Travel link will be a useful tool.

Sweet looking Platinum. It's nice to see some pics of one that isn't black or silver.

That's a great looking Platinum. All the best with it. Enjoy.

Is that the stock radio antenna? Mine always hits the bottom of the garage door when I go in or out.
