Default Pulled the trigger on a new Platinum!

Took my son in law's '13 Lariat in for it's first service last week and while waiting looked at some '13 Lariat's and Platinum's. Got a good trade in on my '11 Lariat and going pick up the new one in the morning. Ingot Silver 4x4 with the Ecoboost...will post pics tomorrow. This will be my 2nd retirement truck!!

That's what I heard...not my first silver truck but certainly the fanciest!

Most of the Lariat's were white or white with adobe. One son in law has a white '13 Lariat and the other has a '12 F-250. They had a nice kodiak brown with adobe trim but it had the 5.0 and I decided on the Ecoboost. I also like the retractable steps on the platinum...price wasn't that much higher either. The platinum has Bridgestone tires instead of Pirelli's also.

Big congrats on the new baby Paw Paw!

I ordered those same Bridgestone Alenza 55R's on my XLT (order code said 'Platinum') - fabulous tires.

Kodiak Brown, with 5.0 and 3.73 rear end... lovely.
