Not-So-Shiny New Truck Pics

These are trucks after all, so we need a thread for pictures of them once they get dirty/dusty/muddy. I'll start:

Here is my Expy on our 1700 mile road trip to the West Coast. Stops in Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Had a slow leak in the front left tire. Turned out to be a nail in the tire. In Washington State now...

I wouldn't even call these trucks pictured even remotely dirty... go get them muddy for God sake

You didn’t see the interior after the kids got done playing in the sand...

After spending the amount of money it costs to buy these trucks, I can't see running them in heavy mud. When I was young we used to get what we called bush beaters. Cheap cars or trucks that you could beat the hell out of and didn't mind. Just my 2 cents worth.

Went skiing yesterday. Look for something extra in the background...

Seriously. 4th gen owners apparently have skewed definitions of “dirty”. I think one might be “dusty” at best.

This is after driving through the rain for 100 miles so it is cleaned off a little.

For what these trucks cost - even the newer used trucks - I don't blame them. I was reluctant to take mine anywhere potentially hazardous to the paint in the early days and I'm still fairly cautious. I kind of miss the days of my 15 year old Mountaineer when I would just blaze down roads with 10" deep potholes and through heavily wooded areas without a care. I'll get there again with the Expedition, but not enough scratches on her for that just yet.

Here’s my Explorer paint job. It’s been down a couple tight trails.

You are winning so far.

I have a few pics accumulated over time of the Expedition doing Expedition things.

I kept my '03 Superduty for dirty work so no dirty Expy photos. Some of these here make me cringe.
