The past is back in a big way, folks. Don’t worry, disco is still very much dead and high crime rates don’t seem to be making a comeback, but two-tone F-150s with chrome racks and HiLites are, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

This retro package, called the “BFP Retro F-150" option, is available through in Cincinnati, Ohio, finally giving you a reason to go to Cincinnati, Ohio, a terrible city in a terrible state full of terrible things. But it’s not just a retro paint job you get with this package. To achieve a more late-1970s-early-1980s feel, Beechmont also added a 3.5-inch suspension lift, 17-inch polished wheels and 35-inch all-terrain tires. Beautiful.

Of course, good lights sit on top of a Black Horse rack to complete the look. And while Beechmont will retro-style any F-150 you order through the dealership, it recommends you pick up the XLT or Lariat trims for their flashy chrome packages, according to .

We are of usually when it comes to two-tone paint jobs. Our own Kristen Lee recently, and I tend to agree with her, because she is right. Even if you aren’t into the retro look, the two paints colors will still make your F-150 stand out, which can be tough considering it’s one of the best selling vehicles of all time.

Let’s compare this package to this nicely rehabbed 1979 F-150 on :

It don’t get much more ‘murican than this.

Good amount of chrome? Check. Big, beefy tires? Check. A ride height that will leaves the shorter cars scrambling? Double check. Looks like Beechmont Ford knows what it’s doing.

And if you’re not a Ford person, a dealership in the same treatment. Can we just do this to all the trucks?
