    I normally do not make a big deal about seeing a 5th Gen Limited in the wild, as there are so many of them (and mostly in boring colors like black and white); I also do not normally make a big deal about lifted 5th Gens of ANY trim level if they are otherwise unmodified, but when I realized that was a lifted Limited, I had to get a pic because people rarely lift those from what I've seen. I saw the blue one in the parking lot of Shake Shack after picking up an Uber Eats order, and then I saw the gray one in the driveway of the customer I delivered that order too (he let me take pics)! As an added bonus, I also saw the silver 4th Gen in the Shake Shack parking lot...

    I don't hate it. I think if they got rid of the chrome accents and those window visors, it would look pretty good

    Could have had something else ordered and took this in the meantime. My father in law ordered his new F250 last year and the dealership sold him an F350 and told him to drive it for the year until it arrives and they will give him what he paid for it. Ended up giving him $6k more thanks to this ridiculous market.
