Hear that. I just washed my truck and 5 minutes later it has dust all over it haha.

I am just a sucker for black vehicles, I probably won't get any other color until I smarten up when I'm, like, 40 lol

Black is NOT a color, it's a career choice!

Its probably more addictive than heroin lol

Though a good quality pearl white is nice on alot of cars (Kia optima, ford focus, 2013 fusion, f150 limited) I just couldn't justify it over black. A metallic black makes it that much better.

Just a little Update...Still LOVE my new F150! I really enjoy the EcoBoost motor as well. This thing has got some real power. Just hit 1K miles. Averaging 16.5 mpg, mostly city driving so I can't complain about that. Although, from lurking around the forum I hear there is a "Break in period" and alot of peoples mpg increased after a few thousand miles. I'm hoping I fall into this bracket

Very Nice. Many Happy Miles!
I too have an Ecoboost. I have the 2011Screw. Only problem so far is the imfamos trans fluid leak.I have just over 19,000 miles and it's been back to the dealer twice.Hopefully ford has fixed that problem on all the trucks.
