We bought my 16 XLT Chrome from them about a month ago. Prices and service were good. Now that the Mrs is ready to make a swap (I was hoping she'd want a Mustang), were gonna give them another go. Its a little bit of a drive, but the price really is pretty nice.

Silver XLT for sure. Nicer inside and out in my opinion. I'm not a huge fan of console shifters as they're a waste of space, but it's by far the nicer vehicle at only a small premium over the XL.

I can relate to this post haha... Silver was never a color we had been open to, but that price is... yeah, its a good price. I am leaning towards the Silver XLT, even tho I love the Race Red color.

Thanks for doing that research for me. Hah! Id say were leaning towards the silver... I'm hoping we may be able to get ever a little more from them as this would be our second purchase in 45 days, and this is 1 of 2 identical trucks.

Great price on the silver XLT

One big bonus with silver its real easy to keep looking clean and it wears well with age.

Can't say whats important to you, but...

If it were me, the XLT all day, hands down. The silver will grow on you - we had a Cherokee and I never would have bought one that color, but sometimes you buy on condition rather than color in used cars. You know what - that silver color is now one of my favorites - stays looking clean and hides scratches and dings better than any other color I've owned...

Wow... reading thru some other threads and had no idea how much could be saved by using Flood/Zeigler for an ESP. I will be cancelling my dealer purchased plan and making that swap.

Thanks for all of the input guys. We will be going to take a look at this vehicle later this week.

We are also interested in a white XLT SCab we came across. It is a left over 2015 still on the lot. Does anyone have experience with what kind of deal we should/could expect on a 2015 at this point? Should we avoid it being the first body year of this generation?

2015 Oxford White SCab XLT
- $25,999 (all rebates apply to us)

Our thought process is we already have 1 SCrew, we don't NEED another, and this would save us about $4,000. Am I overthinking it? Should we just spend the extra and get the Silver XLT?
