It's still a truck

Don't want to keep it looking too clean

One of the trucks I'm looking at has the max tow package with the mirrors like yours. Trying to decide if I want that package or not. I don't do a ton of towing, but it would be nice for when I do.

I hate the chrome package on that truck. The wheels are horrible.

Do you plan to put larger tires on it by chance?

If so, you'll appreciate having the 3.73 gears

I think it's the same as the lariat chrome wheels

It's like a plastic cover over steel wheels

Some chrome factory wheels can look good....those do not

I dislike that the caps on my mirrors are chrome instead of black

Why can't they paint to match like the 2-fiddys

By then it won't be mirrors

It will be video screens and cameras instead of side view mirrors

Ford's ergonomics just don't work for me. Everything just seems a little too large - spread out for comfort. GM on the other hand seems to nail size / position / distance to controls just right IMO.

I do like Ford's new projector headlights however. Much better looking than the standard headlights.

They couldn't have picked a worse looking chrome rim IMO. O well, the other aluminum 20"a are some of the best lookin out there.

Yeah, plan on putting a 2.5" leveling kit then put 35s on it.

I agree. I'm not a fan of those chrome wheels. I can deal with the grill (though I prefer the paint match) and the mirrors, but I much prefer the aluminum wheels.

It's probably not a hard change. Buy them, plug them in.
