Default Sorry, but that's redicoulous...

Went to the dealership today to get some replacement 4x4 off road stickers for my 4wd lariat... $46 EACH! About $100 for a pair of STICKERS!!!

Am I the only one that feels that's kinda out of line?

No one is forcing you to buy it, also why would you not get something nicer/better from moodyblues?

I know it is personal preference, but I have not been a fan of the stock 4x4 decals on these trucks. One of the first things I did when I got mine home was to peal off the EcoBoost badges and the 4x4 decals.


However if you like those, its your truck, not mine. I bet you can find a much better deal from Moodyblues, or another vendor on Ebay/Amazon. There are some pretty cool decals out there if you don't want to stick with OEM.

Pfft, I replaced the decals on my motorcycle fuel tank and they cost $95 each

No that's not a typo, $190.00 for both sides. And this is all I got per side.





Hey by the way, did you get board I sent yet?

Not really out of line to me. When I worked at the dealer, dealer cost was $38 a piece. 25% markup on parts, is typical, that would equal about $46

LOL the only thing they came with was a paper backing to throw away after applying them and a fancy plastic bag with a cardboard closure and the Suzuki logo on it.

Doesn't seem that ridiculous to me (although I may be biased).


Sure, there's companies / people out there that can make them cheaper, but think of all the middle men you go through when you buy from the dealer.


Manufacturer sells to Ford, Ford sells to dealer, dealer sells to you. Everyone's gotta make their percentages if they want to stay around.

Go to Stage 3 Motorsports and click on the decals and emblems section. According to their site- officially licensed by Ford and available in more colors than you could imagine. I ordered the realtree camo ones recently. Waiting on them to come in. I can post here once I get them in hand. 20$ for solid colors and 30$ for camo ones is very hard to beat.

I bought a pair of OEM bedside decals for my Ranger from an online Ford Parts vendor and it ran me around $50. Roughly $25 each. You should have checked with Tasca or one of the other online joints before resorting to the thievership.
