I had a ski buddy who had the 2wd version of that Colorado (or whatever it was called) with the I-5. He loved it and said it pulled his toy trailer just fine and it was a pretty handsome looking small rig. Black on black on black.

I don't think they make the bumper/air tank any more. Something about the DOT didn't like the way it exploded when hit too hard by another car. Doesn't mean you can't make one yourself :)Quote:

Yeah the truck has chrome trim and diamond-plate box and edging around the bed, I kinda think black would look weird but I'll think about it.
My truck had chrome trim too. I fixed it.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Well that's reassuring.
With that 1 year/12k warranty, why worry?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

The new ten speed tranny will be initially available only on the Raptor but will soon after be available on higher trim F150s. As I recall from my occasionally reading jalopnik etc.
I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but I rented a brand new F150 (~1,000 miles) in February that had three 4x4 settings, auto/high/low.Quote:

The Pilot?
I might be changing my mind on the new Raptor. Sweet Jesus.
All it needs is some douchey sticker about CO on the back window, and it's ready for Highlands Ranch.
