I love the leather wrapped dash. 22" Rims look great too, 450HP V8 option doesn't hurt either

Yeah it is pretty nice. Why is Ford able to do so many decent special editions of every car?

They're still around. I just don't think they sell a whole bunch.

It doesn't really "look" like a near fifty-thousand dollar truck though.

Does any truck?

A mid-level crew cab 4x4 in LS/LT trim (with the standard dash, not the uplevel LTZ dash) with the Duramax/Allison combo will easily approac $45k-$50k. They don't look fancy at all.

Regular Tahoes, Sequoias, Expeditions, etc. can approach $50k too.

It has always blown my mind that people will spend that kind of money to buy (or lease) vehicles like that. I always worked it in my head that for that kind of coin, you could have a nice lightly used (or even new) Vette or a new GTO and still have a new Impala / [*insert family car here*] to haul the 2.5 kids in. Unless you are towing a boat or camper... Of course, not everyone has a want for a toy car; there are crazy people in this world.

A good friend just bought one of those 50K jobs just a month ago, lol. All options Duramax with LTZ, sunroof, ect... and 4x4 of course. Stickered for 50, paid 41. I would have at least gotten a color other than WHITE though! Its an HD though. Whereas this is a half-ton in this thread that, to me, doesn't Look like a special edition. Not like the old ones used to anyways...!

I see a bunch of them sitting around on a Lincoln/Mercury dealer's lot. I thought they had stopped making them, and just had leftover stock from a previous year. I liked the idea of a classic truck turned into a luxury vehicle, that could still do some stuff. Unlike how GMC Denalis or Escalades aren't exactly a pick-up.

How do you figure? They still tow and haul a lot. They just have fancy rims, top notch interiors and all the options.
