man these pics aren't making it any easier waiting for my truck LOL!

As for the orange stripe on the wheel, I don't see it as any big deal that it's not blue. The darker shade of blue is subtle enough against the black dash that it doesn't "jump" out of you. Certainly noticible, but not catching peripheral vision. The whole point of the orange stripe on the wheel is to trigger your peripheral vision to know TDC while focusing on what's going on outside the windshield, so orange still makes sense there IMO. Also it's no more out of place than orange needles on the instrument cluster.

Sounding good. But again, would like to hear from Tux Black on blue int owners. I am stoked about the blue, just getting the last of my uncertain butterfy's out now before next month. Thanks guys.

I had doubts about my 2011 when I ordered it Color, Hood Graphic everything. When the truck arrives your gonna think this truck is BADASS and wonder why the hell you were worried about any of that stuff at all.

Both 2012 model black or blue seats have A/C....No worries.

Though, you just helped to confirm an assumption I had which was: to folks that dont know....you (generally speaking) think blue trim seats mean "Cooled". THIS IS GOOD.

Thank you!

I had really wanted the molten orange, but that is now history. I will be going with with a white SCAB, hood graphic and black BakFlip, no bed graphic. Most of my driving is on dirt roads, so I'll have plenty of analog mud by the time I get down my driveway (0.7 miles of dirt). In other words, I don't need to pay for digital mud. Since 1984, I've owned five big Broncos, all of them white (we used to take Rottweilers to shows, so heat was an issue). One had a dark gray hood (Victoria two-tone). It cut the glare so much that I actually had my '94 hood painted dark gray. There's a blue 5.4 about five miles from me (close in this rural area). I like the color, but I think I've gotten used to white. Plus it reminds me (a bit) of "Big Oly". Yeah, I know Big Oly had gold sides, but the top of the truck was white with the black hood.

From pictures only, the orange interior had a cheap look to it, and I did not think the orange leather would wear well. I actually got a test drive in a 2012 SCREW with the blue interior. It was much more subtle. I may go with that.
