New article, best looking production 15 yet?
http://www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/...sailing_e.html
I'm talking about the gray one at the bottom of the page not the red one !
This is the best looking imo stock 2015 F150 yet, it is very much my style. Any idea what model it is?

The red truck in the article's header is a Platinum; the author's magnetic (gray) truck is a Lariat with monochromatic package. They're both EcoBoost models.

Ya know, I'm not usually one to nit-pick, but... ...
Nothing in that video was a challenge for that truck, or any truck for that matter. Great video for showing how all the features can be useful, but it doesn't show what the truck can really do. I'd be interested in seeing that.
Example,
Look at the log across the road. Any truck should've been able to move that WITHOUT cutting it in half with an incredibly dull chainsaw. I think my Yamaha Grizzly could've done it.
Then he used a 1" nylon tie-down strap to pull it. Really?? What's the tensile strength on that, like 300lbs?
And then, after they used their dull chainsaw, tiny tow strap, and new almost 400HP pickup truck, the two guys almost pick up the rotten log, and roll it out of the way by hand.
Sorry, everybody, I just needed to vent. I remember the good old days of the Ford pulling a Dodge up a rocky hill with a Chevy on it's back. Now that's a challenge.
Anyway, that WAS a gorgeous truck. I can't wait to see one in person.

That was a cleverly scripted ad to keep intelligent folks smugly watching as they continuously noted the all-too-obvious narrations, e.g. the gloved hand using the center stack controls with no difficulty, etc.

sure it was cheesy of them pointing out all the features. But it was nice to see it in action and looks much better in the video rather than viewing the same old photos of it.
I don't get the continued Tundra references except for I do think the rear taillights look similar to those on the older Tundra trucks, but for 2014 the taillight shape changed on the Tundra.
