Very nice, not many better all-around vehicles out there. Power, comfort, work-capable, 4x4, not boring or cock-esque.
Oh, and you need to shave dude.
I think the 5 o'clock shadow comes standard with those trucks.
Very very nice CJ. Good color combo too. And I know how hard it is to get the longbox with a SuperCrew. It literally is like pulling teeth to get a dealer to locate you one.
Now gets some videos of that new 5.0 rumble!
Does it have the same level of grip as the old F150 with its Hoosier racing slicks/BFG offroad tires?

It's got 1200 miles on the clock now, and I can now answer that it in fact does not grip like my old truck and it understeers like a shopping trolley full of logs. Stupid OEM rubber.
Some other impressions:
-POWERRRRRRRRRRRR, this thing is way faster than a truck should be. Tests say around 0-60 in 7.1 seconds and that sounds pretty dang accurate. It will really throw you back if you plant it. The 6 speed auto is clearly tuned for economy but it realizes your intent when you put your foot in the carpet and has no problem dropping a cog or 3.
-I really like the SYNC system. Once I got used to the voice commands it really works well with my iPhone in both phone and usb/ipod/music mode
-It is incredibly quiet on the highway, more so than even my mom's Infiniti G35
Overall, I am quite pleased with it so far. I'm leaving Texas for North Dakota in 18 days and it seems like it will be the perfect tool for the job.

Yes but does it come in Flareside model? No? Aw, I'm sorry.
How fast is it?
18" wheels? And I thought my 15" were big.

9th gen Flareside = we slapped the bed from a Ranger on the back of your F-150 and then used dually fender flares so you could cover the wheels.
No, really, go look - the bed is the same part number(s). The whole point of a truck is the bed. If you have a bed that small, why didn't you just buy the Ranger it came off of?
