Holy widgets and doodah's! It's gonna take a month of sittin' in the driveway twiddlin' dials and pushin' buttons to figure everything out. The 7.3 gas engine with the 10 speed tranny moves it right out.

I like it.
Have you put a gun rack in it yet? 😁

Nooo… Guns are scary and dangerous. I did hang a rape whistle from the mirror in case that 10 speed tranny tries to get outta line.
Woo doggy, glad you got it. Remember your post when you ordered it. Very nice.
That is a nice ride !!!
I was gonna ask about a small loan but I guess that boat has sailed! Don
Sweet!
NICE! NICE! NICE!! I hope it serves you well.
shiny as a new dime 👍🏽👍🏽🤠
Now take it antelope hunting and get some sage marks on it 😂
Mule
don't forget the Colorado pin stripes either
Can we help you cessorize it??? @NeoBlackdog
That motor sounds good when you use it. Rear tires won't last long though.
You can offer up suggestions 'till the cows come home. Just be aware that my wife has veto power. That's why it's silver. I wanted green!
Awesome truck
Congrats
let us know if it is a gasaholic
H ave to get the tail dragging look set up!
Looks nice, I just wish they still had 8ft beds on em.
I could have gotten an 8' bed. I opted for the 6'9" because our camper is designed for a short bed. It was originally carried by my 2004 GMC 2500 HD. I like the short boxes because they are just a bit easier to maneuver in tight spaces. This new rig is 20" longer than the GMC due to being a Crew Cab rather than an extended cab.
We had two little surprises when we picked it up. #1 is that we didn't expect to get heated seats in the rear but we did! We thought that was only available with the Lariat Ultimate package which was a $5,000 plus upgrade. We had checked into getting that added later and it would run about $1000 so we dodged a $1000 bullet there. #2 is that we ordered it with the Camper Package which any thinking person would assume would come with the electrical plug in for the camper lights. Nope. You have to order it with the Fifth Wheel package to get the in-bed plug in. What the heck? That little add-on will cost us $200. Should have read things a little better, I guess.
Holy cow is there a lot of room in the back seat area of this Ford! The dog's not gonna know what to do with all that room.
You did good.
I thought so. It came in at under 70K for the whole enchilada. When we started shopping I was expecting to be around 90K. When we told the salesman we would be writing a check for it I thought he was going to swallow his teeth.
You younger guys start saving NOW! Even if it's only $50 a month, get something going and stick with it. Sacrifice a bit now and you'll live much better when you get older. My wife and I came out alright even though we started a little later. Had I started in my early 20's… Whoo doggy!
Beautiful truck 😍 😍 😍 😍 ❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩

Good to know you can still get a 8ft bed, I thought they discontinued them altogether. Glad you got what you wanted!
that advice is a little late as a i just turned 66 3 weeks ago 😕
holy cow that is a nice rig!
Add a set of Jake brakes
Can't wait to see it with a "Carolina Squat"and the wheels set out about 6 inches.
they told me you can only get them with the 3/4 ton or one ton models, no longer available in 1/2 models not even special order…… this was GM not gonna swear to fords thinking
Nothing drives as good as a paid for truck.
On a 7.3 gas engine?
Do NOT hold yer breath, brother Dog. It'll be a cold day in Phoenix before that happens!
Passed one last week, back bumper almost dragging on road and I could have walked under the front bumper. One the most foolish things I ever saw. But to each their own I guess.
Not sure but may be illegal in many states.
Outlawed here in NC. The kids figured a workaround
They jack up the both ends with the rear being lower than the front . Still has the squatted look but just does skirt the law into being legal
That's a really nice truck, congratulations.
Hey admins…can we merge this with @Kevin_L ’s thread and have an @NeoBlackdog truck giveaway?
LOL ^^^^
I've seen a lot of funny stuff on here over the years but you may have just jumped to the top of the list with that post!
My Chevy 3/4 ton has grade braking since it's a gas engine. Love it for when I'm towing so I don't burn up my brakes. RPM's go from 1500 to 4500 in a heartbeat. Sounds cool as well. 😎
Like the built in step near the cab. Nice truck even if its a Ford. 😆
Yep, front wheel set, rear wheel set
only if you have independent front and rear engine.
Left and right bank,,😉
Wowzers! Mine came with 4 owners manuels, I bet yours has 6. I want to go for a ride! I'll buy thee coffee and give you this free advice: get the dealership to bluetooth your cell phone.
4 Manuels? What were their names?
