Months ago I made the decision to part ways with Clifford (Because we all need another build thread (Goodbye, Clifford). There were many factors that ultimately led to this decision, and I am quite content and joyful of the change.

The trade value I received for Clifford was about what I bought it for back in December of 2020. Decided to pull the trigger back in February 2023 on a new Tremor.

I aptly named my Carbonized Gray Tremor Carbon Electra (after Carmen Electra). It is a 2022 F350 Lariat 7.3L. It was slightly used, but it had many features and options that Clifford lacked. I probably will not be doing as many modifications and accessories as I did with Clifford, but I want you all to partake in the story and adventures that lie before me and my new truck.

I do not have any cool "action shots," but hope to get some in the coming months now that the weather is getting better and have some vacations planned.

Perfect ..!!
 
My carbonized grey spends time in the Lowes parking lot as well! Way too much time, if you ask my wife
 
Camper shell looks great
Looks so much better on the gray than the red I had previously. I have received a lot of compliments on this bad boy. Just wish I could be using it for some outdoor/overlanding stuff, but I live such a boring life LOL.

That Lowes Credit Card comes in handy. Especially since it's an extra 5% off, plus 10% military discount. I'll take 15% off any day of the week.
 
That truck looks so much better with that black topper on a grey truck. Nice set up!
 
I do love me a carbonized Tremor, but your previous red tremor with black accents looked dang good too. I’m not even a red fan.
 
Looks great! Love that color and as others stated, the Smartcap looks right at home.
 
Congratulations!!! Cheers 🍻

Some days I miss Ol' Clifford, but this deal was too good to pass up. I wanted to love that red but it couldn't grow onto me

I get that, I had a red truck and was not 100% sold on the color but loved the truck, every time I looked at it I regretted buying a red truck.

Decked Drawer system installed. Bought from a guy for $800. Came with 4 D boxes, 1 toop box, dividers, and a bag. Pretty sweet contraption. Was going to put this in my military trailer that I use for camping, but didn't seem practical. Plus, easy install and removal if I change my mind.

If you wanted carpeting on your new-to-you decked box there are better ways to go about it... :unsure:
Gives the truck a bit of "life." Plus, it looks like I actually use it for work.
 
Truck's engine light came on...again...Ford pass is showing same error as last time. Taking Carbon Electra to the dealership tomorrow morning 😔
