New FX4!

I drove home a new black FX4 crew cab tonight.

This is my first new vehicle. Traded in my 2004 Lariat supercab. The cam phaser noise was really starting to bother me.

Had a dealer 20 minutes north of me that didn't put forth much of an effort to sell me a truck so I took my business to another dealer. The initial offer from this dealer was $7900 off of MSRP. Walked out the door with about 20% off MSRP and they are going to pay for me to have LineX put in.

I had just put new tires (Dueler Revos) on my 2004 back in December. I was going to ask if I could swap those tires to the new truck. I wonder if they would do that?

Glad to have a new Ford. I test drove a new Dodge but I am glad I didn't buy it.

Looks like it is supposed to rain for the next few days. Once that lets up I will get some pictures.

That is one beautiful ride!

Thanks for posting some pics.

I have a question - are those step bars the chrome 5" oval, or are they something else.

I want step bars on my new '09, but not sure the chrome would look good on a white FX4 that has no chrome at all.

Thanks for any info.

P.S. Got any pics of the interior?

Yes...they are the chrome 5" step bars. They were already on the truck when I bought it.

Here is the only pic I have of the interior. I took the picture in the garage so it isn't very good.

Thanks for posting the photo - been trying to compare the fabric vs leather.

I am thinking of adding the chrome bars to a truck I am hopefully buying.
