Picked up my Cactus Gray Lariat AWD FX4 Fully Optioned

[Delzona]

Congrats on the truck. I have the exact same spec'd to the T. I added the smoke hood deflector and think it accents it very well.

I also swapped out the 3rd brake light bulbs with LED bulbs. The LED bulbs make a huge difference in bed lighting.

That hood deflector does look good, nice accent! Changing the 3rd brake light to LED, another good idea!

Looks great! I cannot seem to decide on a color. What are your thoughts on the cactus grey color? Is it exactly as you expected? The color in online pictures seem to vary from picture to picture, sometimes it's greener and sometimes it's greyer.

Any hood flutter on yours? Couple of people have brought that up on test drives.

I've noticed this on mine.

Looks great kinda makes me.wish I went with Cactus as well. Can you get some photos of the rear seat area and underneath? What room for a subwoofer is there?

Here are some pictures I took when I got to see a trainer Maverick at my dealership.

Really bummed the stupid Ford Product planners won't allow the Falken tires with the black FX4 wheels on a non-First Edition Lariat, which is exactly what I wanted.

I could swap out the crap Pirelli's, but that's an extra $800....

Seriously considering the Hot Pepper Red now because the required wheels for the Falken tires look good with the red, and horrible with the cactus, IMO.

Thoughts?

Check out post #252. Those wheels look much better on a darker color, where the black wheels look better on lighter colors. Again, just my cockamamie opinion....

Note: To clarify, they are not specifically FX4 wheels, they are required for the upgraded Falken tires, regardless of FX4, unless you get First Edition.

I really don't like black wheels but they do look sharp on the CG -- The upgraded FX4 wheels don't render that much different to me on HPR or CG - dunno

All subjective for sure. Leaning towards the HPR today..... could change again tomorrow!

Hood deflector sounds like an awesome addition. Especially down in Louisiana.

Hood deflector looks good! - from factory or aftermarket? If aftermarket what manufacturer?

Thanks

I have been back and forth between HPR/CG for weeks- The struggle is real-

Do you know the payload on yours?

Payload is 1500lbs on all configurations.

Payload is 1500lbs on all configurations.

Actual rated payload depends on equipment.

I think you can get a trade-in value with the existing tires at some tire shops. I read a post where one guy did this and got $100 a tire for his "used" Pirellis

I really thought it was 1500 on all configs. But yes, i guess added equipment will cut into that 1500lbs.
