    Ford used to be great, to bad they don't stick to tradition like toyota, instead of nickel and dime you to death after (maybe) 100,000 or when your warranty runs out.Screenshot_20171213-085013.jpg

    So checked out both black and white and don't know which one, and if the bigger engine is worth that much more. Here are some pics. Opinions are needed. 20171216_131219.jpg 20171216_131201.jpg 20171216_131057.jpg 20171216_131057.jpg 20171216_131051.jpg 20171216_131029.jpg

    What does a TSS have? It doesn’t have full led headlamps.

    Yep, I agree. If you can't get the 5.7 in a real colour, white will do.

    Must have the 5.7.
    There must be something to do to fix it being white. I would get it muddy, that will help

    If you won't be garage keeping the truck definitely don't get black. If you live anywhere where its shitty don't get black. If you love to wash and wax your truck weekly and I don't mean the car wash get black. Once you scratch your black truck you will see it forever. Scratch a white truck and you will forget where the scratch is the next day.

    Once you go black, you always go back to any other color. I absolutely LOVE your truck and black in color. If I had a garage large enough to park and wash it all the time, done.

    I've done it twice, never again.

    I'm off the pavement to much.

    99’ to be exact. Those SSRs were good Offroad, but chunked and wore out in 15k miles.

    My next set of tires was some Pro Comp muds. They were surprisingly really good.
