Marsh Gray Thread

[kirkster89]

Yes, these are not perfectly fitted Trucks. You can only spend so much time getting the metal gaps correct. I am a machinist. Could see the hood was slightly off.
To me i could see the plastic body pieces could easily become trouble some to get many planes coming to one and they has to cover it up. Those pieces can get wonky. I was ok with that.
Panels seemed to be centered correctly.

kirkster89 I thnk that was the area I was looking at on my truck. That flat black trim pieces is not perfect on mine.


If It will bother you then asked to have it done better. Fixed.
I will have to look at mine again. Kinda expect that. If i purchased a Mustang then Yes, i would have it adjusted. Hopefully you would not see that on a dark Horse. Although I looked at a Dark Green Bullet tribute car. Another guy pointed out to me. How the dash on corner pieces were not aligned.

Shout out to Ford for the GTD. Made in Canada.

According to the body shop it's a clip that needs to be replaced, it's on order apparently (either parts aren't available yet or they forgot to order lol it's been like 2 months)

I've only seen 3 6g's in real life (mine included in that #) and 2 out of the 3 have the gap, but one doesn't, so that tells me it's common but should be fixable

My 08 ranger surprisingly doesn't have any weird gaps surprisingly,

This is the first "nice" new vehicle we've owned it is replacing a 2022 Elantra that was like $25k when purchased and surprisingly it did not have any noticable weird gaps

For it being a $60+k vehicle it does bug me, but aside from that and a few annoying rattles I still love this thing and do not regret the decision!

I just figured I'd point it out as something to look at rather than pointing it out to the dealership months down the road just to have them say "you probably bumped something"

I just have to read the first sentence.

Oh, did not know I was talking to a CND owner.

Love It ! I will run my stuff until it will not run any more. You try to take care of your toy's.
Draining for a 61 oh, my B Day is coming up.


I felt pressured.
The timeline made no sense. A full day I took my KTM890 to Point Robert's. Over the CND US boarder.
Pick up my Carhartt seat covers. Then did not have enough time to clean the screwed up interior.
Had my dear Rough Coat Collie for almost 15 years.

So, the Dealership is saying they will give me 5K for my 2011 XL Ford Super Cab. 2.3L Duratec.
Cast Iron block with the Mazda head. There's no way that would power a 4x4 setup.
The truck has to have a standard you operating the motor correctly. Still for a what 4KG vehicle it was good.

Over the phone I understand what things are worth as long. Say, 3K. to me would cover my short fall. Paid in full.
For me being honest , I agreed upon $4500 CND. Tormented of the low mileage tires I had on the 4G. Had Michelins as Sumer tires and Noikian on seperate rims. Stored them at my brothers house. I took the bed mat out of the 4G and figured i could cut it. In no way can it fit well, but protects the painted bed.

Happy Halloween,

These are just thoughts not written in the most Eloquent way.

I am a bit Paranoid of the new truck. I am total old school.
That's a crutch or cop out. Lats year of Baby Boomers.

The full day going to the boarder and picking up the truck was way too much for me.

I was pleased I took my KTM its like a SuperMotard touring to cross over the CND US boarder.
Nice two women boarder guards. So when you come on a motorcycle its likely you will have ear plugs in. Crazy, the will sone take a facial recognition picture. AI. Happy that did not happen.
So, I go up with my open face helmet. If i had a full face i would take it right off.
So silly, and a non threatening way is you have to understand with no front plate, the cameras do not pick up the rear plate. I laughed, I did not wish to bring my truck over.
I put my large cases on the KTM SMT, for touring.
I crammed my front and back seat covers in one case.
I give the US price of $600. She does not ask for receipts, normally i would have a hard copy of that. So, Sweet no Duty or Tariffs.

CND is thinking of Tariffing Dodge and GM. Stellinis screwed us and ran off with the money.
Hey, Dodge that's one of the reasons I buy a Ford. Alway's felt Ford was Fiscally responsible.

I will have to look at my trim again. Maybe it has settled in flat. Did not notice it the last time i look at it. Yes you pay all this money it should be correct.

Does anyone have a marsh gray color matching topper? I just ordered an ARE but thinking it might look better in matte black, which I don't know if that's an option. The steel toppers look good but black is the only option.

I thought the Tan Softopper would look good on the Marsh Gray.

Now with a matching topper. The black rocker covers really help too.

What no love for the marsh gray? I have to admit it's a love it or hate it color, my wife calls it dirt. So I named my truck Joe, as in Joe Dirt. I like it, but Ford could have called it Mississippi Mud. It does look better in person, and it does change color depending on the light. Wasn't sure when I first saw the color on an F150, but this color only comes with the chrome package which looks terrible! It looks awesome with the black appearance package on the Ranger though.

I think the color looks great! Maybe you won't see the dirt as much when it's muddy, haha!
