Its weird how your tastes change over the years... When Ford first changed to that bodystyle I hated it. The headlights on the bottom looked dumb, that big plastic chrome grille was the ugliest thing ever. Now I think it is a very nice looking truck! I'm still not a fan of black trucks, maybe that's because I wash my truck once a year whether it needs it or not!
That sounds like a very nice truck though. My cousin has a 2011, the first year of the 6.7 engine and he LOVES it. He abuses his truck... works on a farm year round and plows snow in the winter. He hunts every season, anything he can hunt. He really abuses the truck and the exterior sheet metal proves it. Despite all that, the truck drives great and has tons of power.
I looked long and hard at the Ford's but just found a better deal with the Ram. Enjoy the new truck and put some miles on it!!!
