No there are not, not like this. With solid maple, bike roller rack, N-S bed, etc to our specifications.

Same way we ordered our New Horizons, a couple planning meetings at the factory and several Zoom meetings to go over all of our expectations. Because of all the planning, we still wouldn't change anything.

Although, my wife is a bit of a Hippie.. She'd pick some really off the wall goofy colors if I let her.

Lol, I was wrong:

 

[Pablo]

I'm not sending that retro pic to my wife. Sometimes she gets the wrong idea when I send her pictures. She might think that is what I want. I mean it's not like it wasn't part of my early life!! Hahahhaha


What I am stuck on is Ford. ETA where?? At the dealer??
