Love your tires, any issues at highspeeds?

Again, thanks!

No, the wood is piano black almost, no brown at all. And the seats are a richer dark brown than past models and look great with the polished black wood trim.

This is the closest view I have but still doesn't show off the wood very well;



Here is side view of interior showing the brown/black theme;



I have the 5.0L and no issue with power takeoff or at speed even with the big meats and 20-inch wheels.

Thanks! Looks good inside. I think I'll be ordering the Platinum and forget my desire for the 18" wheels.

Pfft....get with the times. FX4's have *** coolers now too. Yeah, Ford moves up in the world and leaves us 11 guys with hot asses all day. Gosh.

Go for the platinum. It has a level of boss-ness that no fx4 can display

You won't be disappointed! But either model are great picks in my book!

FX4 gives you *** cooling (very nice I have to say) at less cost than the Platinum.

The seat cooling and backup camera are two features I didn't expect to find much use for but I love them both.

Here's a pic of the center stack on my Platinum. If you look closely, you can see the silver swirls inside the black.



Also, just in case you were wondering, here is the gray interior as opposed to the brown:

Exactly what I needed, thank you! It looks nice. I can't believe the two dealerships I went to couldn't give me snap shots like this! Off to a third dealership (hopefully next week). I guess I'll just test drive whatever they have on the lot and order the Platinum. I'm so disappointed in the dealership process. Again, thanks!
