Truck looks great. I'm leaning towards that color for my next truck.

I currently have the 2.7 but have been waffling between that, the PowerBoost and the 5.0 (with the 5.0 in the lead lately). Any specific reason you didn't stay with the 5.0? Also, any comments on headlight performance from old to new?

What do you like more about the headlights compared to the reflectors on your old one?

i think the light is more evenly distributed, shoulder illumination is much better

DJ,

The color is similar to the old Wedgewood Blue from 1999 only yours is a metallic color? A very pleasing color IMO.

@Rolling Thunder

Yes it is metallic. I love this color. You are spot on with the comparison to DWB

My new black 2024 with BAP is similar to your new blue one. I like the BAP look except for one thing...the black and WHITE badges. I wish the white lettering was muted...either all gloss black or a dark gray or flat black. Something not glaringly white. I guess I wonder what the point of blacking out the truck is while leaving that bright white Ford lettering on it. LOL

I've been looking for an all black option or maybe painting them.

I guess you would have to wind the 5.0 out pretty high in the RPM range to feel the extra 75 Horsepower over the 2.7 Eco Boost!!How close are you to Marion,PA?
