First thing i did was to put on mud flaps, and rollup bed cover. Bed cover doesn't fit as well as I would have liked but it works. Need mud flaps to help keep dirt and mud off the fold up running boards. I also have the Black Hood Decals and CatBack system ordered.

Pretty sure that for the "Classic" - carryover 2018. The new generation isn't due out til September .. now.

Hmmmm, it did say classic, but for sure said 19. When I chose what vehicle I had, that’s the one that came up. Well if it doesn’t fit....I’ll send it back I guess[emoji20].

Picked up my Black package Big horn about a month ago. The first day I had the front windows tinted to match the factory rear. Secondly, had a spray in bed liner, (Ultimate Linings). Then installed RetraxPRO retractable bed cover. Looking at add exhaust, either Magnaflow (19430) or Flowmaster (817843).

The only issue I have had so far, the third day someone gave me a door ding right in the middle of the drivers' side door. When I parked, no one was near me, when I come out "Ding". No a happy camper. Had my other vehicles 12 years never a scratch or ding.

They reapply after prepping to ensure you are getting the full benefit of it. There are various levels and I’ve seen some shops charge as much as $5000 and have your vehicle in their care for three weeks. Of course the larger and more in-depth they go, the more it will run you.

Do you live in San Fran?

I paid $1200 for 3M across whole hood, bumper, and fenders; 15% tint, and Ceramic coating the whole truck. 5k is way out of the ballpark.

First thing I did to mine when I got it home was yank the dealership tag off the front, and the license plate frame off the back, and transfer my stainless plate frames over from the old truck, along with my Cowboys license plate on the front, and install my locking log nuts on the wheels since my truck didn’t come with them.

Then about a week later when all my **** came in, it was a Retrax Pro tonneau cover, WeatherTech floor mats and mud guards, can’t remember the brand of tape-on window vent visors, and a deezee tailgate assist.

Sadly no I do not but where these cars are the average price for the vehicle is $150,000. With that being the case people who pay that much for their vehicles, don’t balk when told what’s a process for taking care of them will cost. Heck we have guys here who will drop $10,000 to freshen up their vehicles for upcoming car shows. It’s all about what you consider worth it.

yes I forgot to mention I pull off those dealer license plate frames and the stick on dealer logo. some of those logos over the years have been nice chrome metal ones and I have a small collection of those that I have used as paper wts. on my desk

Just picked up mine this morning. Laramie with Sport and ORP in Granite and 392 gears.

So far I've added spray in liner at purchase as well as tinted front windows. Put in a K&N filter and Husky floor mats tonight, and have a BakFlip MX2 in the garage for it.

Still need to hard wire the Escort and plan on adding an Edge Pulsar at some point as it seems a bit slow on response compared to my 14. Once it hits it pulls hard though.

Other than that it will probably stay pretty stock. Has everything I need/want.
