Without a truck for a while

The 11 limited vs every other f150 is a completely different truck. Of course, being a special edition you could tell that it's a limited from a mile away. It has the HD bumper cover (the one with the glossy black grille covering the frankly ugly gap in the middle of the bumper. regardless of if you put a grille in there or not, it's still not pretty) however, since its an ecoboost, I'll let that one slip. But what about the HD tails? Is that being completely dropped from every high end f150? The hd tails make the truck look more high end, having the same chrome tails as an XL scares me (no offense). I thought ford was phasing those tail lights into more models. What about the painted wheels? What about this truck makes it that much more appealing than a platinum? It looks quite similar to a platinum....Regardless of what my opinion means, here's the difference.
I wasn't aware that the 11 limited had sport suspension. It's firm, but not choppy. But around some curvy roads it actually really doesn't disappoint. It's almost....oh my god I can't believe I'm saying this.....fun. It gives you good feedback through the seat and steering, has good brakes and a solid feel. As far as a truck goes, this is as close to a Lightning as trucks will ever get. I don't know if this suspension comes on the now-unfortunately-defunct HD, but it's certainly a good setup. The 11 limited has the smoked lights, painted rims, painted grille (not the nicest grille, but still unique) etc etc.
I just think the new limited is too watered down to be the new flagship. Maybe we will see some new special editions, hopefully one to match the HD for when I can afford one some day, haha! The only other truck my dad would look at is the 2012 Harley in white. What a nice damn freakin truck that is! Sad to see that model go too..
