I'll post a pic when I get to work.
Definitely got the turbo fan wheels. They're so cool. I know many people's thoughts on black wheels. I've always loved them. I have a photo of me painting my wheels on my Pontiac Acadien black when I was 16. They're my jam.
Agreed on the limited colours. I like the blue, but I don't think it looks good with the black wheels and the turbo fans were a requirement for me.
I went white. First, I like white. I think it looks really good with black, but I can super see how it's boring to a lot of people. Second thing is as a shop truck white does a good job of staying cleaner than other colours. I like looking sharp when I show up at a customers' place and this truck will have multiple people driving it so I can't always be sure it'll be clean like I like - white helps it look its best when I'm not the one driving it.
I installed a softopper last night. I've had a vision of having a softopper and generally keeping it in safari mode. I don't see anybody else doing this, so I think it'll add a cool and practical visual component to it. When I post the pic let me know if you like the safari situation. I love it.
Box length should be fine...I've ordered a flip out box extender so it'll be a 6' box when needed. That's plenty for me.
My wife took it driving in Lobo mode last night with traction control off. She got it to slide out, too. This torque vectoring tuning in the back is the real deal. It is so weirdly fun to drive. I'm not kidding when I say there's nothing like it. You feel like you're driving a sporty car. There is no truck feel at all. Like, 0%.
Also learned it's a 7 speed. All other Mavericks are 8 speeds. This one has snappier shifts and a different gearing ratio for all gears, which adds to the fun. It'll aggressively hold gears and aggressively down shift.
Vehicles like this rule. I like it more than a Lamborghini. You can wring out everything from this truck versus having to use 20% of its capabilities or go to jail. Still going easyish on it since it is brand new.
