Barrett Got a New Truck

Hey everyone,

I am starting a new job starting at the end of June and my 2005 Lariat truck did not fit the bill for what I need to be driving in an outside sales position. So very sadly, I have to put it up for sale. However to replace it I got into a new 2014 Lariat about 2 weeks ago.... Very late to posting it.

I don't plan to toy with it (to the extent) of my 05. So far I have:
- Painted mirror reflectors
- Took off EcoBoost badges and dealership decal
- Background on headunit
- WeatherTech floor mats
- Bed Cover from old truck

Within the next 2 weeks or so I plan to have it Line-X'd and tinted, and probably chrome turn signal bulbs.

Haven't taken overly many pictures because I've been pretty busy, but here's a few:

Looks good. Keep in mind that you will have to run a front plate in Texas.

Had the dealer throw me a frame for it when I bought the truck. Thanks for the reminder.

Why didn't your old truck work for your new sales job?

Need to be driving a vehicle less than 4 years old to take advantage of the Vehicle Reimbursement Plan. Also being outside sales, the gas mileage would kill.
