    So for kicks and giggles I was building a new F150 to see what kind of options you could get.

    It looks like there aren't anymore factory tow mirrors, which is weird with how popular they are with us :peace:

    You can't get the Ecoboost with a rab/short bed, only with the 8ft bed. Too bad, cuz that would make a sick ride.

    The 6.2 is only available in a screw/5.5ft config. Lamesauce.... Wtf can't you get it wit ha 6.5ft bed? or a scab/6.5? Hopefully they'll change that next year.

    For color options there isn't any green... maybe it's just me, but it'd be nice to have some shade of all standard colors available. We pretty much have Red, Blue, Black, and White in different shades.

    Just some things that I've noticed... Anything that have popped up to you guys?

    Oh don't forget that the 6.2 will only be offered in the Harley and the Platinum F-150.Been visiting some underground sites when it comes to new models.There is also no plan of ever putting a 6.2 in the lariet,the FX4 and the XLT.Kinda sucks cause i would get one if they put it in a FX4 or XLT.

    You can get it in the Limited also. I would get one in a heartbeat if it was an Fx4.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    They actually do offer the towing mirrors for the trucks. It wasnt offered in the original build back in december, but since has changed. Go to forddirect.com to build there. I was a bit bummed about the configurations, or lack there of, and thats why i've been lookin at a SD instead of a new 2011. And I agree, no 6.2 w/ a SCrew 6.5' is :supergay:

    Thats it for me too......I would have to spend $50,000 to replace my truck with a new one, and I don't have that great of a truck. I'm just thinking, a big gas V8, Screw, FX4 with a few options and it goes threw the roof!
