yeah, and the 6spd tranny helped them out a lot too.

Thanks for the input gents. Ended up with the 2009 5.4L screw platinum 4x4. Picking it up tomorrow morning.

Totally stoked.

I think you're gonna love it. These new trucks are miles ahead of the 04-08 generation trucks. Congrats! Can't wait to see pics

All necessary paperwork was complete, the store manager and I got to talking and he offered me the job, so come the end of October this guy will be the newest salesman at 4WheelParts in Houston.
Congrats! I'll drop by....

I just realized the prior owner did a wheel swap to chrome ... and it looks from the car fax like they paid the dealership to do it. Jeez...

Love the truck though.

Those are XLT 18"s which if they PAID the dealership to do, then the dealership made out well. Platinum 20"s are not inexpensive to say the least and they are solid aluminum whereas your 18"s are chrome clad.

There's a user here selling his barely used Platinum wheels...check out the classifieds section.

those look like xlt or maybe lariat wheels. Def need to get you a new set. Good looking truck though! Congrats? What part of Texas are you from?
