Congratulations on your new ride! Beautiful Still waiting for my SS to be built. Thanks for making the wait even harder!

Tried to buy that one in KS a couple weeks back, but told I was too late. Congrats to whoever scooped it up. Had to order the same truck and now I'm stuck dreaming.

I was on the fence with the Silver Spruce from the beginning and almost pulled the trigger on an iconic silver that was in stock before deciding on placing an order (mostly because I didn't know if i could manage the wait). I am happy to report that I am NOT dissapointed!!! The SS is very hard to tell in pictures and even in person it has a plethora of shades and colors. I dont think that anyone that is on the fence about it would be disappoint (IMO). I just picked mine up last night from the dealer and it is even better in person. I will state that I opted for the lariat sport package. Dropping the chrome and adding the blackouts definitely help. To each there own and i honestly don't think any color out there makes for a bad tremor.

Happy to officially be part of the club now! I only have some urban pictures to share and will have to work on getting out of in the open soon.View attachment 3245

I originally was thinking I wanted the bug deflector, but the more I look at it I think I'm going to go with the black letter inserts.

As for mud flaps, I had ordered some husky mud flaps before the truck showed up. They were the wrong ones and I sent them back. I think i may get the OEM ones with my ford Pass Points though.

I plan to put some HT black paint on the exhaust plus a tip and hopefully the flaps will help deter some of the chips. Overall I still love the color choice though. I've gotten lots of positive comments and inquiries as it is somewhat unique.

Nice, so same I think of doing the letters front and back maybe.
I am trying to decide on the mud flaps.
I ordered a 90$ 12” Gibson black tip and will probably just use it for a year until I put a Borla exhaust and larger tip. I was going to just paint the pipe but still would look too puny for that truck so decided to fork 90$ and just use the tip for looks purposes.
do you think the truck needs a 5.5 or 7”drop b&w? I like the 7” versatility but don’t want it to hit the ground going over bumps

I have the 7" B&W and still have a foot of clearance underneath. I haven't had any problems with it so far. I haven't really put it through a good test, but don't think i would run into many issues.

Sweet package! Did you have the camper in the other truck or buy it for the tremor?

I'm going to have to go take a look at this one this weekend.. If only had a PCO. It's been listed as on the lot for a few days according to the affiliate search and puts the price right around $70k for a Platinum.

Virtually no options, what is it missing besides trailer assist and the twin panel roof? I'm not familiar at all with Platinums, I don't usually price that high.
