I think they heard you guys because they are changing headlights and taillights for 2019. The taillights aren’t the best looking either.
The upgraded LED set are not the prettiest, but acceptable. The standard double halogen are simply horrid.

New GM lights will be interesting as well.

🤣🤣really!
The “spy” shot titles are the funniest. Like the photographers aren’t told where to be, and when. 🤡

Haha, I’ve had a string of canyoneros..
My most obnoxious? My 2003 Ford Super Duty LE.. my second new vehicle. That was the she-it back in its day.. tuned to throw smoke on a rope.. ok ok, I was younger and a little wilder..😵
Exactly like this. http://www.2040-cars.com/Ford/F-350/200 ... an--88475/.

I used to cringe when my wife drove it, but never as much as a scratch or a tire scrape! That’s one truck I wish I kept for good. No winters..

I was not a fan of the Ford SD headlights either and it may be just me but they kind of grow a little on you. SD's in my neck of the wood are everywhere so I see them all the time.

Picked up my boat yesterday and I thought I took a lot of pictures but when I went through them this morning there were not that many. Especially any good ones like the ones I see others posting on here. I am really going to have to hone up my photography skills to keep up with you guys! I also think that a big portion of it was that I was so excited to play with it and admire her that I forgot to take quality pics with the subject in mind. Here are few and I plan on snapping some detailed ones this holiday weekend and posting them. Not the best but you get the idea for now.

more! And yes ol silver is squatting quite a bit. I was quite surprised when I found out that I had hydraulic brakes as I thought everything would be electric and didn't even thing about it when I was optioning the trailer. I will say that she pulled just fine without issue other than the squat.

Also, I was planning on using an existing Curt WDH that I had but I don't think it is going to work with this trailer. The bow ladder is in the way. I may end up removing the bow ladder as it is pretty close to the windlass and I will have to be extra careful when loading. I think my WDH would work find if I remove it. I am going to have to see if Curt has some special mounting brackets for the trailer to make it work or ? Nothing ever goes as planned!

Beautiful boat. Your winch looks like a mailbox with the flag up in that last pic.

That is a B-E-A-UTIFUL boat! Jeff can now stop worrying about our F150 squatting just a tiny little bit...lol

Can't wait to see pics of her on the water! What will you name her?

I guess you have to be a Ford guy to appreciate. I see Ram as..well, and a GM truck as a ladies truck.
I feel very pretty driving mine.🌈
The new F-150 is almost the perfect looking truck, and I hope the new SD follows that headlight design.

Btw, you better get jiggy wit it with the camera.
Such a beautiful boat and so few pictures..🤣

A ladies truck...hmmm interesting...Is your truck pink? :roll: :? :roll: :?

I'm a Ford lady myself...so I guess you could say I prefer and man's truck!??!?!

Drive your lady GM truck back to the kitchen and make me a sandwich. I'll come pick it up in my Ford.
