I can only see white.
Congrats though. Glad it's finally over.

The official color is Avalanche. It looks white in the light I took the picture in but is definitely more gray than white.

Sounds really similar to GM's Ceramic Matrix Gray.
It looks really good Chris. Congrats!

I'm not leveling it, the whole point was to get something that tows better than my old truck. Leveling it messes up how well it can tow safely.

He's using his for actual truck stuff.

Leveling is only for people who aren't ever planning on towing a good amount of weight. Chris got his truck specifically to tow the travel trailer in the background of the picture, so leveling it would be dumb.

Lame. Leveling looks better. I get it squats the rear. Get some bags and be done.

Or leave it alone, since it's setup to tow what he needs to tow right now.

While you’re right, leave it alone is something none of us do.

Airbags are an over used crutch though. Additionally, they actually hurt your weight distribution when towing.

Yeah this is true I'll do basic things like a bed cover and a spray in bed liner. Then I'll eventually add the power folding tow mirrors and that adapter harness to make them work on my truck. Beyond that I'm not sure what else beyond that.

If I ever got an F150, I would get a leveling kit, because yes, it does look better. I wouldn't get it though if I ever planned to tow towards the top of the max towing spec (only thing I'd ever maybe tow is my Stealth).

You're on the right track. I think it's near perfect as-is. The few things you want to change have a clear, practical purpose.
Post a couple more pictures when you get a chance.

You get a much better feeling for the gray in that parking lot photo.
I see 631 miles to empty. Did you get the giant gas tank you wanted?

Yeah 36 gallon tank was a one of the must have items
