Trucks.

Black is overplayed. If chrome would fit your truck better go with that.

Just find some of those stock polished aluminum wheels Chevy/GMC uses. I bet there's a ton of brnd new ones sitting around after all the dorks tricked out their brodozers.

Yeah that was the first idea and there's whole companies that specialize in "take-off" wheel/tire packages from the brodozer crowd but as far as I can tell GM didn't do 18" 8-bolt OEM wheels. It goes from 16" to 20" or 22" and I don't want 20s on there and for sure not 22's.

With that 1 year/12k warranty, why worry?

These are on my local craigslist. I'm pretty sure they're stock. https://wenatchee.craigslist.org/wto/5558221535.html There's also a set of new 16" ones for $250.

WOW. Those look really good. Iceman should get that combo.

Well they're pretty ugly but those are the first OEM GM 18" 8-bolt wheels I've seen and I've looked around quite a bit. Where there's one set there must be more, wonder why I can't find them?

I think the 16" stock aluminum wheels look good, why not those?

This truck should meet my driving reqmts:

^Cool truck, but I might like the older one more.

However, I am still partial to the 400hp Cummins in the Warrior, over the Ecoboost.

Driving requirements are for losers. This is America. Buy something that is completely ridiculous and put a Calvin sticker on the back peeing on something.

Better pic of the craigslist wheels.

Another OEM 18". These were probably optioned so less of them out there. I like these more than the old bullet holes.

Those don't suck too hard actually. Getting them shipped to the EC might be problematic, they guy doesn't sound like a genius, but maybe I can find another set around.

Beergut reflection FTW. I recall there's a site that collects Craigslist seller inadvertent reflections.

That Nissan is a heavy mofo. Good for towing though. The new Raptor lost 500 lbs despite a stronger frame, more HP and torques, new transfer case ... Has that AWD setting for hiway snow/ice driving... The practical choice for Texas commuters I'm telling ya

2pac's truck

Do you want me to take a look at them? If you could bet the wheels and tires for under $1k the shipping might be worth it. I bet you can find something out there though.

Is that available on all the new F150s or just the raptor?

My recollection is that the AWD capable 4wd transfer case is available on higher trim level F150s today.
