The Ranger was my first truck (or private vehicle) after 25 years with a company car, so I went nuts with modifications, and therefore... spending!!! The Lariat reminded me of "that guy" with the white truck, matching cap, black wheels... this one won't be on the beach, however... interior is too gorgeous for that!!! (that's just an excuse for "the driver has gotten far too old to be airing down/airing up tires at the beginning/end of each beach day) ;-)

Trade-in Day... "goodbye" to my 2019 F450 that served me well through a VERY large truck camper and 2 5th wheels, and say "hello" to the 2023 F150 Lariat Powerboost 3.5l, 7.4kw Hybrid.

Finally found a parking lot that wasn't too busy where I could shoot some shots, away from the dealership, so I ran a whole new set. Here's my front corner shot...

Nice nose shot - original shot - original owner had it all blacked out - both Ford emblems were wrapped with black vinyl. I'm a "Bleed Blue" kinda guy, so I peeled them both off!

The tint job came out AWESOME - the rear side windows were already at a mild 35%, the sunroof... not sure. I had him put 20% everywhere, so needless to say, it's... DARK! Don't forget, I've got 75 yr old eyes to look through these with, and at night, I have to be careful. I can't get as dark as some of these guys are doing where you can't even see in at all! Kickin' Customs in Raynham, MA... ask for Derek!
