Ford truck guy

I would not only judge the purchace on the turning radius.. When backing in that 45’ fiver, the tuning radius will more than likely not come into play too often. The 2 trucks have a very similar payload capacity, and the 350 will be more than capable of doing its job for your needs. Now, this is only my opinion and I am sure there are many that will argue my point, thats ok…If you wanna gamble and wait for a new 450 order, or find one at a dealer and pay MSRP thats okay.. I have seen many deals on 24 F350 DRW’s online.

Ice has it in a nut shell.. we (the dealership ) needed a special optioned f150…. The dealership in VA that had it made us buy 3 as they are HEAVY ON F150’s.. Going back to Koons Monday to get 2 150’s when we only need 1. I think its time to pivot

I’m retired and I’m a part-time driver for this dealership. I get the D plan.

Ordered my 25 back in early November only to now find out the commodity constraints are still lingering.. As of last week, just on my order it was the front grill, fifth wheel prep kit, and now 8’ beds….?. We are in the process of trying to locate a dealer willing to dealer trade with my selling dealer. As of today, every dealer we contacted said no. i am looking for a 24 F450 Platinum either Agate Black, or Carbonized grey.. is there anyone on here that knows of a dealer that has no issues trading? Koons Ford in Baltimore has 9 platinum 450’s with 4 being Black…. You would think sitting on over $900,000 of inventory between nine trucks they’d be willing to trade one of them, so far no answer

Thanks, the change happened on last Thursday, maybe this Thursday it will get scheduled.. Thank You for the information

Well, the ordered changed from “unscheduled clean” to “P” they tell me that stands for “Preview”. Said the schedule date will be within a day or 2,?

Rookie question here….. if the order shows- “unscheduled clean” , does that mean all the components SHOULD be good to go, and its just waiting for scheduling? Or does any component shortage effect that that from being scheduled?

Ordered my Lariat Ultimate F350 DRW today, hoping for a reasonable build date. !!

When did you place the order?

tossing around the idea of ordering a 2025 either 350 or 450.. Lariat or platinum.. Anybody know estimated build time? Did Ford get their crap together and back to 8-10 week lead time?? Or are we at 12-16-20 week?

I have already stated that this truck will be the LAST one with the twin panel moonroof..... I work part time at a Ford dealer, find yourself a good, local T-top repair shop and they will fix you up.. Here in SE PA, there is a great local guy that can repair ANY sun roof for a TON cheaper than any Ford Service facility.. We send all of our "out of warranty " jobs to him. This is the guy in SE PA as a reference - - - https://eastcoastt-top.com

The issue I had was this - The rims on the RV need to have a special contour on them AND a specific diameter valve stem hole, AND they are not rated for 125 psi... I ended up selling my kit online for a few hundred dollars... quote - Trailer TPMS sensors are only compatible on wheels with 0.452 in (11.48 mm) diameter valve stem hole. quote - my 17.5 wheel has a contour of HC... the factory TPMS only fits on a wheel with a "J" contour

I have a 42' Fifth Wheel that weighs in at 17,000# loaded for trips... My 2020, F350 6.7 - 4X4 - long bed - 3.55 gets 11.5 - 11.9 towing when behaving and doing 65 East Coast.. When, NOT IF I get in a hurry and push the pedal, I drop to 9.5 - 10.3 .. the GOOD thing is that when I need/want the power, I just put my foot in it and away she goes ! ! ! ! I love this combo ! !

Thanks for all the reply.... The dealer is replacing the coupler between the bed plug and bumper plug... If that does not work, I will have him spray electric cleaner in the plug. Ill post after all is done

They did that TSB on the first visit... It cleared all the codes at the time
