I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Yeah I bought them paint to match based on the VIN so it was easiest to get them in Dirty Snow color.

As we were towing the trailer to go camping last night I was looking through the menus and options the truck tracks the miles towing each trailer I setup. I've towed our travel trailer 19.3% of the total miles on my truck.

Realizing just how much I tow with it is kinda making me regret not getting a F250. I found a used 7.3 gasser not too far away equipped how I like it ... :runaway:

I dont think the 250's are as well refined of a truck. More boxy and clunky compared to the 1/2 tons.

Yeah absolutely, I'd probably use it as a daily less than the limited amount I use my current truck. That being said I can't really afford to flush 15k down the drain by selling my current truck to go get a different truck

It is not that you tow a TON - but you barely drive it otherwise so the percentage is high :lol:

Yeah that's definitely part of it, but that was true when I was shopping for it too.

Oh you can get it on Lariats etc, if you pay extra for it. My buddy's 2020 Lariat has the 13th gen version of that grill from Factory, but he had to get the sport and black out packages to get it :lol: And now it looks like you can't get the STX grill on a Lariat. However the 2025 black Lariat grill looks good IMO
