The Silver Bullet- New Daily

Post by DMbronco »

Well, it wasn't quite time for a new daily but Ford got pretty desperate earlier in the year with the employee pricing discounts.

I had been spying single cab 5.0's and seeing markups of nearly 10k. What a difference 60 days ended up making.
Somewhere around a net 15k delta from Jan to April OTD pricing.

Anyway, I picked up a 2025 F150 4x4 single cab with the 5.0 /10 speed.

I seem to have a difficult time leaving pickups alone so here is evidence of the continued insanity.

Of course, I had to pick fancier parts so I can justify a Whipple supercharger in the future haha.

Without further ado; here is The Silver Bullet.

I mulled over wheel options and really couldn't find aftermarket options I liked.

Running Raptor wheels isn't ideal due to backspacing issues so I stuck with factory.

I did score a 5th to match and then picked up 5 BFG KO3s in 315/70/17. Was able to squeeze in fullsize spare in factory location which is non negotiable for me.

First look at it and I was STOKED!

Coming from a Supercab, I was trading wheelbase and maneuverability for dry storage so went hunting for a camper shell to overcome that.

Picked up a Leer and then color matched. Stoked.

Looks fantastic! Ford was adding $10K to the price on these things? I would think the desirability would be low? Is it because there are so few of them made?

Interesting that one of the spring clamps on the Deavers is backwards from normal. Is that to clear shock bodies?

Really like the looks of this one with your "Day 2" mods.
