When I think "limited" it reminds me of my uncles expedition that has the whole grill painted to match the truck. I think painting the whole grill white would make the truck look better. The painted wheels look horrible in my opinion. I do like that tailgate more than the fugly tailgate on my platinum ha

I wonder if it would damage the paint to pry off the "LIMITED" lettering off. I'm of the "less is more" type when it comes to decals.
The painted wheels are OK, but for the stuff wheels see (gravel bashing off of it), I'd rather go with something that looks decent, but doesn't scream "BLING!" at the top of its lungs.
Just my lowly opinion, of course.

Anhew...I think the limited looks kinda fugly. The limited lettering on the side looks cheesy and the painted wheels are extra cheesy.

I really dont like the grille. What they need to do is the outer square part needs to be white and the horizontal bars chrome.

Haven't quite figured out why this and the Platinum. Do they need all these different premium trucks? King Ranch, Platinum, Lariat Limited, Harley Davidson. At least they don't do that Lincoln Blackwood thing any more with the tail light stickers on the tail gate.
And I always hate when I see "Limited" on a vehicle. It isn't going to be really limited like some exotic sports car that they are only building a 1000 of. They will probably build as many Lariat Limiteds as they can sell. If not Limited production, what IS limited. I pay 50 big ones for a truck and I don't want limits. There seem to be a limited number of options for paint. Perhaps that is what is limited.
I don't like the Limited sign on the side, or the grill or the wheels really. Would rather have a regular unlimited Lariat, I guess.
I like the nice interiors and power features, but in the end it is a truck, not a Towncar.

Jasonf, you hit the nail on the head I think. If I could have picked different wheels, and a chrome grill, I would have made an offer last night at the dealer. Now Im just frustrated at the limited options on these premium f150s.
