That was a big concern I had when I talked to the salesman about it, I'm just going to bring them into the dealer when its time to have them done. They said if they crack when they are replacing them I won't be charged anything extra for that.

I like the color choice and the interior, its very similar to mine.

It needs a Borla Monster Exhaust asap!
I just placed the order on the MBRP exhaust, I read a lot about the different ones and I think I'm going to like this. Its not very loud, just really deep. I guess we'll see in a few days!

p.s. beard, do i really come across that bad about ford motors? im only here to try and help
I'm just giving you a hard time. But it does come off that way sometimes. Do I think the 3v motor is a flawless piece of work, no way, but I still think its a nice engine and works great for me and several others. Every engine/car has its issues.

Right now I have a MBRP dual exhaust, Access Vanish tonneau and 09 emblems on the way. Then some other little things like floor mats and a top bin to mod so I don't have to cut up this one. Mounted the scangauge yesterday. That stuff and some tint should be it for now until I need new tires.

Yeah that would suck. I haven't seen a manual transfer case swap in one of these yet, I haven't looked very hard either though.

Its a 4.6 engine STX. Manual shift cases come standard on XL, STX and XLT. The electric case is a lazy person option. I almost bought a 06 XLT 4wd 5.4 Supercab with the manual case last year.

I thought the same thing at first but I really like it now. Its also much cooler when the truck has been sitting out in the sun compared to the gray interior.

Im not a fan of the tan interior either, I haven't had any issues yet, they look bad when you get them wet and I think o crap, but when its dryies out they look fine so idk, doesn't matter what color the interior is it will get dirty. I don't care its a truck....
