I normally don't think of red for a full-sized truck color choice, but this is one very sharp color... looks really great with the black grill and trim.... awesome looking rig.

You won't have to worry about too many people pulling out in front of you suddenly from a side-road with a red TV, so the odds are much better for you  NOT having to brake hard, (as opposed to us, in our grayish blue truck.) 

Yep, very much like your color choice, and a bit jealous of your aircraft grade aluminum lightweight structure that is now unique to the new Ford trucks. Saves weight, benefits your power-to-weight ratio. Nice pick all around, in my opinion ! ! ! Happy Podding out there, Blimey.

+1 ....on the Ford Ecoboost engines. That is a really nice truck with the sport package and the striking color. That truck probably has a console mounted shifter which will really be nice to manually shift the truck when going downhill. I am extremely jealous as my 2014 F150 pales in comparison!....lol ....congrats on arguably "the best" TV for our class of trailers!!!

 literMy F-150 is a 2010 pre Ecoboost 5.7 liter V8.  It has the heavy duty tow package and pulls our 177 like a dream.  It is red also, but a different red (Royal Red).  I can't imagine a better performing TV for a pod.  Tell me about that backing assst i see advertised.

Thanks for the comments. Red is my color. I have 4 red cars(my passion is Little british cars) and traded a red GTI in on this truck.

It does have the bucket seat/console set up.It was part of the sport package.
