WOW that white and beige sort of POPS out at you
its sad how the new ones make the original trooper look so dated
more pics please
congrats
Having a few minor options added to the truck so I won't pick it up until Monday or Tuesday.
I am amazed at the turning radius of this thing. On our test drive it only took two lanes to the left of the one I was in to do a Uturn. The old solid axle 99.5 required ~ 4.
Other kool things are the
large screen nav system,
back up camera,
folding side mirrors,
locking storage under the rear seats,
heated and cooled front seats,
remote start that automatically turns on ac/heat and seats depending on outside temps,
120v a/c plug,
Ford anti theft tracking system, etc.
It was nice to be able to have a normal conversation in the truck without raising our voices. Remember the 99 year model was the loudest of the then New Body Styles. The new truck is as quite as the wife's new Edge.......and to a degree I will miss the growl of my old 7.3.

Yep, I hear ya! I got to a point right around this time last year where the ol' girl was gonna need some bucks thrown into her and i just couldnt justify it anymore...so I did the same thing you did.
Glad to see we've got another 6.7 guy on here now! Hopefully we'll get some more discussion going...

Where were you told that? I'm having that very debate about this on another forum. The cooled seats def kick in when its hot out, but i'll be darned if you can get the heated ones to kick on automatically...its gotta be like sub 32 * outside for that, and we all know if it gets to 50 in TX, we're using them cause that humidity makes it feel so much colder.
I'll be interested to see if this is the same case for you.
