Another Chrome here. Primarily because the painted bumpers on my 05 f150 were the first things to get beat up and start rusting. I like the look of chrome and love the durability. I'm 60. ? ??
Am I a Geezer?

Chrome is easier to clean!
I have the blackout and color matched Bumpers, but I can already tell That if I plan to keep the truck over 10 years I’ll have to get them repainted. Only costs a couple hundred but wouldn’t have to do it with the chrome. I’ll probably repaint with a color matched linex like my old f150.

The darker the truck, the better the contrast of the chrome bumper says Fred the 62 year old "geezer". Mine is an agate black 2 tone with chrome bumpers. I'll try the Tremor wheels in gloss black, stone gray and shiny silver "chrome " to see what suits it best. The flat black wheels only look good with other flat black stuff. Do what YOU like. Remember the Hummer from the Cars movie? Don't follow his opinion!! Lol

and its real shit! Looks great, if you are bouncing off rock a d welding to it, paint would be OK. Paint for the Raptor, chrome for the Tremor.

If you had to ask that means your a geezer.
I have a few ( not many ) on you and I have painted with black out. The ceramic coat makes it easy peasy

As long as you don't have two tone paint, probably not a geezer!
UUuuhhhh, hhhmmmm, uuuhhhh, wwweeeelllll....

Chrome or paint, a Tremor is a statement out on these roads. I think they look good either way. I personally ordered chrome as the black out wasn’t an option for stone gray but it’s also easier to get the south Florida love bugs off in March. This is what my future ride will look like ??

I respect everyone's opinions but I usually can't stand chrome.
The only chrome wheels that I think look really good are Alcoa dually wheels (if they count as chrome):
The only chrome bumpers that I think look really good are ones on old vehicles that are not built in to the body:
The only chrome grilles that I really like are either on old vehicles or on a 2020+ white Super Duty with paint matched bumpers and LED headlights.
The only chrome door handles that I really like are also on old vehicles or on something like this picture yet again:
The only chrome mirrors that I really like are on older vehicles:
The only chrome headlights that I think look really good are some LED ones:
This is the best looking vehicle ever that has chrome. This is the only time that I have loved chrome on a truck. And yes I realize it goes against everything I just said. Big Truck Big RVs 2017 F-450:
(Not the best picture of it)
Now of course this is my opinion on chrome. I respect your opinion on it but to me black/color match looks better. And even if your truck has chrome it still looks good to me. But it could look better with a chrome delete... ?
And of course you shouldn't take advice from me on how something looks because most people disagree with me... Like for example I love the look of regular cab duallies which most people don't seem too. The same thing applies to a lot of other stuff that I like... And also I like chrome a little better on RCDs.

I'm with you on that! I wish I had a use for a regular cab, long bed dually 7.3 Godzilla. So. Much. Payload!
I say its your truck, set it up the way you want, as long as it isn't Rattle Can, its all good! When I was 16, my older brother was laying house carpet and bought me over some remnants. My 70' F250 had vinyl floors, but by the end of the day, it had door to door brown shag carpet! Was sweet driving that truck barefoot...
I have the Sport package. But the amount of chrome on the Tremor is just the right amount. It is a balanced look given the size of the truck. I think I got on the Sport package when I was looking at getting a non Tremor Lariat and my interest just carried over when I decided on a Tremor.
I ride a Geezer Glide ? If that's not Geezing, I don't know what is...

I’m still waiting on it. Ordered it 4/23/21 no VIN or build schedule yet.
Under 40 crowd checking in lol I originally went with the XLT and chrome bumpers with carbonized gray. I thought it looked good enough, but my wife encouraged me to bump up a trim level and get black out package since I'd be keeping the truck a while.
Carbonized gray looks good either way in my opinion.
