Very nice lookn' truck Coy! you'll be glad you went with the 4x4, it really helps with the 60' times

Here's my old girl after a bit of love today. I finally got around to getting the coating on the passenger side. I already corrected the paint, so just had to wash it and strip the wax off.

Those were neat colors if you're into that whole mother of pearl thing. I'm a huge fan of the Mystichrome on the '04. Only saw one in the wild though and wasn't even sure if it was original.

If we're picking out favorite Ford paint schemes I'd probably have to go with either the two-tone maroon and black combination on the "100-Year Anniversay" F-150's or the two-tone orange and black combination on the Harley trucks.

I think you could also make a strong case for two of their recent colors -- Ruby Red and Blue Jean are both really nice hues if you ask me.....

I agree with the ruby and blue jean. Those are really sharp. My favorite has always been the copper on the '07-'08 King Ranch.

I told myself i was taking it slow with this truck. But of course i found this . Ended up getting it especially for that price and already painted my color. Was taken off a 17 with less than 10 miles on it from a ford dealership. So should be in alnost perfect condition

That's dirt cheap for what amounts to a brand new factory grille already painted the color you need.....

Big difference with the Raptor wheels. Truck looks great.

Retail for paint materials and labor would put you around 100-125 to paint a surround that you provided..... definitely a hell of a find and a great steal at that price

Did my first fill up this am. Pretty impressive. 35 mile highway drive home last saturday and all the rest was in town with stop and go. It makes sense though, 35 mph and its crusing in 8th gear and like 1400 rpm. Come up to a stop light and engine shuts off. All great ways to get better fuel mileage

Hand calculated came to 19.66




Put 42 miles on it from the fillup this morning and its showing 24.2 at the moment
