Thank you for the pictures. I hated the argent grille at first but its grown on me. When I was playing around with the Ford calculator, you can choose XL Value for 600 which adds some interior options and gives you a chrome bumper while retaining the argent grille and surround. For 900 you get the XL Appearance package which gives the chrome bumper and chrome surround but still get the argent grille. In order to get the full chrome grille and surround you have to upgrade to at minimum XLT, so having that chrome grille costs some dough!
I think if I saw a tuxedo black crew cab XL on the lot I would buy it but the only color our ford dealership stocks is white on the XL's. There is a very clean 08 Dark Pearl Blue XL DRW w/ 6.8L V10 . I'm eyeballing it hard!
