I do like the green , but Ford no longer offers it in the trucks I am looking at..

This is the other truck we are looking at. Lariat Special Edition in Magnetic...

That looks AWESOME Randy. Magnetic is the best grey I've ever seen. Love it. It's on my RV and my new truck. I would have ordered my truck completely in it but know I'd get irritated keeping it clean. Plus I wash with a brush to save time and Magnetic would show marks from that.

Rodney - I agree on the Magnetic on the F150 Special Edition....

I hope it comes to pass Gerry....

Stickers --- Prolly the most expensive I've ever seen.....

So for roughly $2500, you can get the gum-wrapper for the tailgate, hood and side stickers...
Dream on Ford....

However, my 2017 will have it and Josh says it's a great feature while towing as it's tied into your brakes, trailer brakes, and trans. So, not only will it maintain your speed but slow you down as you approach traffic.
A fun activity to do with guided cruise control.....bump the set speed up to a 100 or so and just follow the fastest car on the highway.

Today was the day I brought home my Superduty. No surprise to Rodney who was instrumental (along with Scott, Rob, Mike and many others) in convincing me to reorder.

I hadn't quite understood the "taking the long route" talk but I do now. I like driving this truck. It is solid, quiet, comfortable and powerful. It's night and I'm sorely tempted to go for a drive just to experience the LED head lights.

Since there aren't many White Gold trucks here's a picture of mine doing its best impression of Ingot Silver.

Love the white gold Jim! Congratulations on a beautiful new truck!

Gerry - Not going to wait for the 2018 just to get a spiffy grill and updated tailgate.. I've not read of anything else on the 2018 that is worth waiting for..

Randy, the blue in the pics above is very pretty on that truck. I would agree that the decal package is a bit pricey.

Jim, that truck is nice. I'm sure you will enjoy it and it will have been worth the wait.

Howdy Rodney and Gang!

Very nice looking truck Jim. I can't wait for the day where I'm posting pics of mine... I bet Randy is feeling the same...

Mornin' Douglas!

How's things Rodney?

I have a solution for your 3" hitch that would work well for both of us. You could give it to me at G2G 2018 for en early birthday present for the new truck I will get 6 months later! Win Win!

Interesting proposal Doug. As long as you bring me a new 2.5" version for my birthday, I'm sure we could accommodate the exchange.

As for me, I'm sick. Ugh. Been taking care of three generations of sick all last week. Mom with a cold and a sprained ankle she managed in my garage. Wife with a cold and a muscle spasm from moving a portly patient at work. Daughter with a cold that morphed into croup. Mom's ankle is on the mend and cold gone as of yesterday. Wife off muscle relaxers as of last night and cold gone. Daughter on steroids and finally stopped coughing last night. I wake up with a cold this morning. I thought I had skirted this fiasco but one of my angels managed to share the love....
