Default My New Truck

After lurking here for over a year while thinking about replacing my 2003 Tundra, I pulled the trigger yesterday on a 2011 F150 XLT EcoBoost Screw.
Truxedo tonneau and Bedrug are on order. 50 miles of conservative driving on country roads at 18 mpg so far. Fortunately, I had learned to drive for mileage using a ScanGuage II with my Tundra. If I drove like my wife (either on the gas or on the brake) it would be a lot less.

Nice truck.

Is the white on the lower body a Ford option?

It is actually silver and comes with the candy red metallic.
I hadn't planned on either the metallic paint or the chrome convenience and towing package, but this late I only had a couple to choose from, the other being blaze blue.
It's also got Max Tow and XLT Plus package which I had planned on getting anyway.

Looks good...I've never seen the two tone with the candy red. Only dark blue pearl (like mine) and black.
