  1. Can someone post the 2024 Super Duty Order Guide or direct me to where it is posted Appreciated
  2. A shame Ford can’t build these trucks. It’s likely intentional and by planning. War on trucks i am hoping something can be produced in 2024.
  3. I would be concerned on the impact to these trucks sitting around on lots for 6 to 9 months
  4. Is there any word on when the Job 2 order bank will open for the King Ranch model It is frustrating Ford promotes something they can not build
  5. I got notice of my March 2022 F350KR order being serialized I took the option to cancel it as very late in the 2022 production cycle and the reported rumored 2023 body and interior changes coming. Felt like that was wiser choice for another 5+ Year purchase
  6. Is there any reliable visibility if the 2023 model year will include a more of the F150 features such as connectivity, driver assist, blue cruise and the better quality B&O sound system? It may make waiting for a 2023 to be a better option for some that would prefer a latest generation truck for the next 5 to 8 years
  7. Anyone know what the specific engine issues were?
  8. The problem is: 1) The quality of the speakers is inferior to the 2008, even though the speakers are in the same place 2) The amplifier on the Navigation Head Unit does not have the power and sonic clarity of the 2008 amplifier 3) The Navigation Head unit has sound level and sound quality issues between inputs 4) The Sirius Digital Decoder Receiver has poor sound quality output
  9. Quote from Henry Ford “Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.” $1800, that is why it is a problem. For $1800, this could have been done right. With all the upgrades to the interior of the truck, the sound system took a big step backwards. Quotes to get it up to an acceptable level by adding an amplifier, signal processing system and speakers range from a $2000 to a $3000 outlay. Again, the 2008 Sound System was spot on, extremely high quality for the vehicle. Yes, this does cause the customer to not be satisfied with the purchase and no apology from the customer is needed for providing feedback. "Companies that Serve Best, Profit Most".....think about that.
  10. I took delivery in April of a new ordered 2011 F350 that replaced my 2008 F250. My 2008 F250 had the Navigation with Audiophile sound. You got both when you purchased the $1800 navigation option on the 2008. The 2011 F350 has Navigation with 'Premium' Sound System...$1800 option. I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the sound: 1) No presence, definition, clarity and timbre to the sound. Sounds mushy and muddled like a $150 vehicle audio system. 2) System does not have enough volume for the truck. The 2008 system had a 300 watt amplifier. The 2011 system has a 4X25 watt amplifier. 3) The sound system is not tuned and balanced for the truck. 4) Sirius Sattelite Radio Sound: Extremely Poor. No highs whatsoever. did not have this issue on the 2008. The problem here is with the quality of the digital decoding in the Sirius Radio part of the system. 5) Auxiliary input source from Ipod or other device. Poor. Lacks volume of old system. Lack of definition and quality to sound. Overall I'd rate the 2011 system as a 2 on a 1-10 scale with 10 being best. On the other hand, the 2008 system was a solid 10. Unfortunately, this falls on deaf ears at Ford and the only way to get it resolved is to shell out money to add on an aftermarket signal processor, amplifier and replace speakers. This means spending another $2000 on the audio. Other than that, great truck. But Ford missed the boat with the Sound System. I have entered a formal complaint with Ford and the responsiveness to the feedback was extremely poor for a customer service relationship for someone who just purchased a $60,000 vehicle. WIthout question, the worst customer service experience I have had with Ford in 15+ years..
