Thanks. I was initially hesitant to do white letter tires, but I have to agree the white is a nice complement to the Cactus Gray. In fact, it has me wondering whether it might be worth doing the XLT badging and tow hooks in a matte white. What do you think of that idea?
I'd have to see it. I think white letter tires and trucks go hand-in-hand.

This is a fantastic solution to not breaking the bank for a Tremor.

White letters are legit- It was a must for me as well :)
To me any tire that doesnt have raised white letters is either a cheap import brand, a re-cap, or on a getaway car. When I was growing up thin whitewalls(not the wide whitewalls in my dads era) was still the norm and the cool guys had the letters. Even better if they were yellow, they were probably track tires. The one tire I miss the most these days is Hoosier. They just looked so dang good on a car.

Hoosier still makes racing tires. I see them on the sprint cars.

Lol. Yup. Agreed, no thanks.

You pass, it gets marked $7k up. Multiple others pick up theirs no problem no markup. Same dealership someone else picked up from has a lariat tremor loaded for 38k no upcharge. Meanwhile I still can’t get a simple date for a vehicle/trim with less than 3,000 orders. Fanboys will tell me it’s technologically impossible to do so.

That insane disparity across dealerships and fords dog shit systems are probably why I’m not buying a maverick if and when it even shows up.
Totally understand your aggravation. I think Ford needs to slap some type of sanction on dealers who gouge their customers . . . gives Ford a bad reputation.
