    I’ve searched high and low through the 2023 US order guide. Does anyone know what configuration will force a 3” hitch receiver on a 2023 F350 SRW?

     

    What I understand is that 2.5” hitch receivers will be standard on all F250/350 SRW trims. BUT the order guide shows that 3” hitch receivers are available on all trims as well, although my fist assumption was that 3” hitch receivers were only going to be available on 350/450 DRW.

     

    If you compare the 2022 and 2023 Order Guides, there is no longer a SRW option to get a 3" receiver.

    Hi everyone.  I have a 2019 F350 Platinum Diesel.  4 months after warranty ran out I got an Adaptive Steering Fault on the dash.  Dealer diagnosed and says Steering Assembly needs to be replaced....for $5000!  Anyone else had this fault?   The truck has been well cared for and maintained by the same dealer since new, and only has 36K KM (22,300 miles).  Dealer says I'm SOL as its out of warranty,  Escalated to Ford Customer Service - same response.  Any one else know of a cheaper fix, or an alternate path to get some compensation from Ford?  Starting to think this brand sucks.   thx

     

    Just so you know, Zeilger Ford can still provide "new coverage" extended warranties within a 41 month/36,000 timeframe from date of entering warranty coverage, I just added one to my 2019 Edge with 1 day to spare. https://www.zeiglerfordesp.com/warranty_plans/default.aspx?plan_id=2053

    • After nearly 37 years, I no longer have access to the FMCDealer.com portal. As a result, I will be unable to provide Order Guides Updates. 
      • I will continue to provide assistance and support for any other issues or questions related to my experience. 

     

    I certainly thank you for all the help & assistance you have given me over the years.

    Ha, didn't realize this was specific to Mavericks and not all vehicles.

     

    Actually, the article that was referenced in the MTC forum talked more about Lightning and full EV's, and said nothing about Maverick.

     

    With some guys waiting over a year for their vehicles, there's a lot of anxiety over there,,,,

    Thanks for the response.  Just curious, is there any way around that, since the responder doesn't have any restricted items (like the interceptor's ballistic panels)?  Not trying to do anything questionable, but if there was a special order process or something, I would definitely be interested.   Thanks again.

     

    What is it about this model that interests you?

    Here's a little known fact from NASCAR history. Back in the late 60's NASCAR wanted to reduce the displacement of the engines so they came up with a power to weight formula which allowed teams to run a lighter car based on the reduced output of its engine. Ford's response to this new rule was to destroke their 427 FE racing engines by using the forged crankshaft from the 361 cu in truck engine. The resulting 396 was a result of using the 427's 4.23" bore and the 361's 3.5" stroke. That engine would scream to over  8000 rpm and won a lot of races in the lighter Fairlane chassis.

     

    And now the Ilmor NT1/396 is the spec for ARCA and the Truck Series.  Not Ford/FE based, but a 396 nonetheless.

    I’m wondering if it’s Ford just being overly cautious with taking orders and not being able to build them-they are still making dealer stock units, but I guess that is just what they can make vs what people are are ordering. 

     

    With the high % of Hybrid orders being reported, I'm hoping my 2.0EB AWD XLT makes it down the assy line,,,
