GM doesn't make a lot of work trucks in any other color, so white it is. Maybe some day I'll find a red one. I was looking for Race Red, Area 51, or Atlas Blue; but in the trim and specs I want, there was just nothing left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing was an animal when you wanted it to be and a smooth cruiser the rest of the time. Best open road car ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 3 hours ago, iamsuperdan said: Finally got some pics of the new truck over the weekend. Back in March, I sold my Lightning after about 9 months of ownership. Love the truck, but with the incentives and rebates the manufacturers are throwing on EV right now, the used market is going to take a nosedive. So to get ahead of the curve, and continue my trend of never selling for less than I paid, I sold it to someone that has been looking for that particular trim level and colour. And I didn't lose any money, so that's a good thing. So I had to replace it. Lots of excellent deals to be had on remaining 2023 models, so that's what I did. 2023 F150 Lariat with the Powerboost hybrid engine. Basically an EcoBoost with a hybrid system bolted to it. I took the big ugly FX4 decals off the back. I think it looks better without. I've never really been a fan of decals or graphics. Will be removing the PowerBoost emblems, and as soon as they're readily available, the new ovals from a 2024 F150 will be going on. Window tint and a dashcam coming soon. I want to change out the wheels too, but wheel pricing has gone mental over the past few months, so that idea is on indefinite hold. Another boring white truck, but I actually like white. Plus there's nothing left anywhere in the other colours I would want. So boring white it is. I agree, this does look cleaner without all the decals. My last two trucks have been white, and they don't show the dust as much as other colors until really dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Hey, Dan, Question for you, since you're an F fan and you're in the business. Recent years' F-trucks have these double stacked headlamps. My question is: Do they (the trucks) come with "off" or "dim" switches, or are they only sold with unextinguishable all-lights-on-all-the-time super high beams suitable for docking space stations in deep black hole space? It seems like 90% or more around here are always on 'stadium-lighting' mode everywhere they go -- day or night. Can they be operated with only two lamps on so the rest of us can see? Or are they only sold to blind people who need all the light they can get? [BTW- I may have expressed it humorously, but I'm serious. It's damn hard for anyone else to see when one of these is around . . . especially if they jack it up or put more than four bricks and a cinder block in the bed.] And, more than half of them run around with the extra in-the-bumper driving lights on, too!

Nope. The Super Duty trucks with the base headlights like you posted have four low/high beam bulbs. So all four are on when you have low beams, and all four are on with the high beams. And the low beams are the DRL. Then let's add the foglghts on as well. And use them all the time. I get what you're saying. They're better now, as they did a redesign in 2023. I find the new design trucks a little less blinding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously some designer thought, 'Hey, this might be cool!' What model years were like that - the mobile surgery suite lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit1 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 This is my Daily, I saved it from the crusher when I bought it Dec. 4th 2019 via Copart salvage auctions. Fully documented ( minus a few pieces I'm chasing down) 2nd Owner, Rust Free. It is my 1st vehicle I ever owned and don't plan on ever getting rid of it with the exception of passing it on to maybe my nephew? The first picture is what it looked like when I bought it, The following picture is what it looks like currently minus I pulled the toolbox out of it yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
