  1. I have been on the build and price page several times and cannot believe they don't even have pictures of anything loaded in the page yet for everything lariat and below, which I believe are the only trims that can be ordered at the moment. It doesn't show anything other than a super duty logo for interior and exterior. I think I read somewhere recently that they have over 150,000 orders already, which must be approaching the production capacity for the model year, assuming it will be a short production year. Being a new style, I wouldn't want to make an order without seeing what it would look like first. They only just recently added pictures of the wheels. Just seems like they could step up the effort in that department for such an important vehicle segment.
  2. I just quickly glanced at the order guide... It appears satellite radio is not standard on XLT or below. That really surprises me. Looks like it is an option for XLT
  3. Regarding the adaptive steering, I have never had it. My truck is an XLT and it wasn't available on that trim level. If it was, I would have ordered it, and I would have waited for it to become available. The steering effort required is probably one of the bigger annoyances I have with my truck.
  4. I believe the plow prep adds 400# capacity to the front springs, and in the order guide, there is a warning that it will negatively affect the ride quality. I got the prep package because I plow our large commercial property with a very large snow plow in the 1200# range
  5. I have a 22 F250 with 7.3 and love it. When hauling our 24' camper, the truck really doesn't even feel like its towing anything. I think the 6.8 would still be more than enough for most campers. My truck has both a camper and snow plow prep packages, so I think its basically a 350 with the 250 badging. It is generally not a bad ride on the road, but the big bumps at slow speeds really toss you around ( like entering commercial driveways at an angle). From a ride and comfort perspective, I really wish I could get by with an F150 but my work demands a heavier truck. The biggest difference you will notice is of course the ride, but also the steering effort for maneuvering at slow speeds. It seems like it takes a lot of steering to make tight turns in a super duty, compared to my dad's F150. I have never had an f250 with the standard (lighter) suspension but I suspect it would not be too bad of a ride. I suspect the 20" wheels will hurt that cause compared to the 18" ones though. From what I've read online, the 7.3 doesn't seem to be much worse off for mpg than the 6.2 was. When towing our camper very gently at speeds in the 65 neighborhood, it will get high 8's. If you can cruise empty on the highway, it will get high 14's. Where I think the 7.3 hurts you is just the short trips and frequent idling. The average mileage I get in my truck is about 8mpg. My driving is generally within 5 miles of home, lower speeds, mostly without a trailer, and the MPG readout usually anywere from 7-9MPG. I believe smaller displacement would likely improve the efficiency for my type of driving, but maybe not for someone who does mostly highway miles. Gotta say, I LOVE the power of the 7.3, and it would be hard for me to part with it. Mine also has 3.55 gearing and I'm very happy wit it, and I have no idea why so many people get the 4.30. I've heard a few people comment how the 4.30 gearing makes the truck a little jumpy when changing gears from reverse to forward. Regarding the 6.8 specs, If I remember correctly, during the reveal I think they said it would be higher specs than the outgoing 6.2, so that would put it somewhere around the 400 hp range.
  6. Purely out of curiosity, I have been seeing many trucks on youtube (mainly recently built 2022 xl trims) with the upper glove box area without a door, just a finished cubby hole. I thought all trucks had the gray door covering this area. My 2022 XLT has the door. Is this how all 2022's come now, or just the XL trims? I had thought XL's had the door last year.
  7. I just received a $2000 offer in the email today for F150, superduty, expedition. I had also received a $3000 one back in july I think. But both came after I already got my F250 about a year ago. I like my truck well enough, and costs have increased enough that I don't anticipate I'll be able to use my offer. Plus, I'm not quite a fan of the new body style yet. I really dislike how the front box steps look...I know it would be a nice feature, but hate how they look
  8. Ford just emailed me another teaser picture for tonights reveal
  9. In the promotional video posted about the reveal event, it looks like they got rid of the plastic filler plates behind the door handles. I like that, and if that color is indeed abyss gray, I may have to see about ordering a 2023. I love my white 2022 f250, but loved the abyss gray on the f150s when it was offered. I wish I could have gotten it on a superduty
  10. Now that some time has passed and some more people have their trucks by now, thought I'd bump this thread to see if anyone else has experienced the issue? I am going in for an oil change next week and the salesperson said they would try to figure it out.
  11. Many Toyotas do have that but ours does not. It was not on the window sticker, and we did not pay the dealer for it either.
  12. And regarding the rail dust and iron spots, I suppose that can happen, but I wonder if it is more likely the iron that wears off of the highway snowplows. The spots are way more concentrated on the tailgate
  13. Thank you all for the replies. I have heard of ceramic, and I'll probably end up doing it, but I have never had a vehicle that was so seemingly impossible to wash. Our Camry has not been ceramic coated either, and nothing sticks to it. Water will bead up in huge beads and slide right off. I guess my point here is that Toyota seems to have done a much better job in the paint department. On my truck, i have even noticed the paint is thin on the front of the hood inside the super duty letters, and you can sort of see through it to the primer underneath. I will definitely check out the products mentioned above.
