My New Van

A great turn of events today, I called the old dealership that I had dealt with previously as they do lots of fleet stuff.
I now have a quote in front of me and will be refining it over the next few days...salesman who is the fleet manager is going away for a week, so no pressure for me.
Looks like the only thing that might affect it is late availability on heated short arm mirrors, will have to find out what exactly that will do to the delivery as I really don't want the long mirrors.
Looks like a fully loaded dually is going to be around 55k which isn't bad at all.
Ford is also offering a $1500 incentive on shelving.

I'm usually a "blue" guy...but I'm kinda digging that "green gem metallic". If I was going neutral-toned, I'd take the "sterling gray" over white.

Black. :wasntme:

Actually, I'm partial to the sterling gray, for a vehicle that size.

I didn't look to see if that comes in a 4WD flavor.

Was thinking white, but really leaning towards the blue...and no Doug, no 4wd at the moment

If you want to get away from white, at least go with silver, it will stay clean looking-ish for you in the great white north.

That's pretty cool how they have a dually package with the v6 ecoboost.

I reckon silver or white would be good Duncan - easier to have standout colour's for your signage.
They should have an AWD version Duncan - Europe has had awd for close to ten years now.

Going to go blue :)
I never run signage on any of our trucks....no advertising period.
Only rear wheel drive in NA

Duncan, you should look into hydrophobic coatings. Thank me later.

I've heard of them, never thought about entire vehicle application.

It's the in thing these days. Would be immensely helpful at repelling scratches and grime, plus saves you the hassle of waxing. Do a quick search to see if there are any OptiCoat certified detailers near you.

Thanks, I'll have a look. Nice part about this one is that I will be able to keep it in the garage.

Late, but I had an 05 that was a Champaign color, that color was awesome for hiding dirt. Congrats, cool option for a dually with the ecopoof.
