    It’s almost impossible to convey with a camera lens. I tried FaceTiming my wife to show her, but what the screen showed wasn’t what my retinas saw in person exactly. It’s stunning in person, glad I had the balls to buy one sight unseen, lol

    I did the same thing, man. Committed to a purchase over the phone, and had them transfer from a sister store 100 miles away. Once I arrived, I was seriously in love, and there was at least half a dozen people gawking at it when I showed up

    I’m happy to see you got your new Cavalry Blue today!

    Alot of dealers use crappy stock images of the Cavalry blue on their websites but it looks even better in regular photo's and in real life.

    If there is not a dedicated thread yet to trucks if this color, there needs to be!














    I would do it but I'm too orange...:anonymous:

    Such an awful sight to see, but what a blessing to have your entire family come out of this type of accident in one piece with minor injuries.

    I'm guessing you didn't have GAP insurance? Then it doesn't matter if they low ball you, GAP pays the difference and you're made whole. Nice truck..the color is growing on me.

    Yes! And I will be contributing for sure. Some people like to take pictures of their kids, me on the other hand.... lol

    I viewed your pics a lot as a substitute for looking at my actual truck while I waited for insurance to pay out. My truck was 400 miles away.

    OP - I was at the dealership today and was looking out for your Cavalry blue. There were none in sight.

    This might be a rare bird in my area.

    I'm glad to hear you and your family are doing good. I have followed your post since the beginning and it's great to get good news updates :thumbsup:.

    Cool. I was wondering. Jay Wolfe had one out front, was wondering if that was the one you got.
