I have a 22 250 Lariat, 7.3 18" wheels and 3.55 ratio diff. Absolutely love this truck. Towing a 25', 7000Lb trailer it performs superbly and the ten speed trans is excellent. I got the camper package, which adds rear overload spring and rear sway bar, front springs were already at the max, so no change there. You will definitely feel a stiffer ride than your 150, but you are going from a half ton to 3/4 ton, so that is to be expected. Towing I get 10.5 mpg, 15 mpg empty, of course how hard you push the skinny pedal will affect your numbers.

Built Feb 5, shipped 9-12, arrived in Illinois 15, arrived in Vancouver BC Feb 23. Took delivery March 2. Less than a month from build to delivery.

In that case every retail order could be sold to anyone the dealer wished. I know they would have to answer to Ford but not very ethical, IMHO.

I guess the laws are different in the US. In Canada a deposit secures the sale.

If you have a confirmed order from Ford, the truck is yours. The dealer can only sell it to someone else if you cancelled the order. I would talk to your dealer and let them know you will be away and will call them when you get back. As far as the dealer letting other customers demo your truck, I wouldn't worry about it. My dealer wouldn't even unlock other customers ordered trucks. I could just snoop a the exterior. I f you trust your dealer there shouldn't be an issue.

I was going by the build spec from the dealer which was way off. The truck has 4800 LB springs on the front. Which makes sense as the camper package increases the springs one up from standard, depending on the configuration of the truck.

Owners manual states 1000 miles or 1600 KM's.

Here's my 22' 250 4x4 CCSB with 7.3 and camper package. It does ride high but also fairly level front to back. I believe it has 5600 springs on the front. Front springs are rated at 6000Lbs.

Hey Rangers, my 250 was built Feb 5 and arrived in Vancouver Feb 24. I took delivery Mar 3. So as long as CP rail keeps operating, you should have your truck early to mid April.

Not 100% certain, but I'd say less than a week. It was in production Feb 5 and then in Illinois on the 15th.

Great! Thanks for the info. Good looking truck!

I'm looking at getting the same cover, did you have to attach anything to the tail gate to lock the cover?

Picked her up Thursday. She's a beast!

Here she is! Thanks for all your help.

Agree! The Canadian vehicle tracker hasn't worked once for me!
