2015 F350 platinum

Thinking of trading in my 2011 F350 king ranch dually for a 2015. I was using fords build it feature on the web. If you add the heavy capacity tow package your get the wide track front axle,4.30 gears and the fender flares up front. When they show the pic the fender flares are black. Is that how it really comes or is it just highlighting? On the F450 it shows them in the color of the truck

Doh! I should have scrolled down before posting.

Looks real nice. Painted bumpers part of the Platinum package?

How about a front shot?

I almost bought a set of F-450 front fenders to put on my F-350 a couple years ago. I like the look of the wide-track. I think it matches the overall look of the dually better.

Can you tell me the axle ratio on yours? Mine has 3.73's. I'm not sure what the next lower gear ratio is but, I think I would like to try it out. Does anyone know if there is a gear set between 3.73 and 4.10? I should look it up.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I believe the painted bumpers were part of the platinum package. Has 4:30 gear which I think was required with the heavy tow package. Didn't like the chrome door handles at first, I traded a 13 F250 same color in on it and they were going to swap them for me (they were painted body color) but I changed my mind after a couple days.
Will get a front shot posted.

I would really like to get the wide track on the next truck, just wish you could order axle ratios like in the old days.
Have a camp buddy that went from an 11 DRW 350 to a 14 450 and he picked up about 1 mpg towing.

Looking forward to your fuel reports.
