  1. I bought an F-150 that sat on the lot at my dealer for nearly a year in 19. I've had zero issues with it. If it does have an issue, there's a warranty.
  2. I ordered a long bed, and I'm staying on the smaller end if I go 5th wheel toy hauler. I'll usually have a Honda pioneer 700-4 in the back so there will be quite a bit of weight off the pin compared to when the garage is empty. We also are used to a 25' bunk house with a Murphy bed so I pack light. Also planning on ordering without a generator because I don't boondock. Payload will be less, but there's a pretty big difference between gross combined, and max towing weight on the diesel and gas.
  3. Got it changed. I'm only using it to tow. As much as I'd love to save on the diesel operating costs I just watched my father in law get 6-7mpg towing his travel trailer this past year with his 7.3L. It's a great engine, but I'm going to be getting a toy hauler that weighs at least 4,000lbs more than what he pulls. The 5th wheels I'm looking at will likely be close to max what the towing guide shows for the 7.3's capability.
  4. I have a 23 F-350 on order. I want to switch to a PSD from the 7.3. How long do I have to change the order?
  5. They had to offset the loss of the crappy halogens in the super duties. I don't know if they have anything, but take a look at diode dynamics. They're located local to me. I have a couple friends that have used their replacement headlights and been happy with them.
  6. Ordered a 23 today. Had the email within a couple hours. Lariat CCLB SRW with the "standard" PSD. I added 5th wheel prep, Sport Appearance, and towing tech package. Last order was short bed and 7.3. The price hadn't really changed from the 22 with the exception of the diesel. Yes, base MSRP went up, but what used to be the "Lariat Value Package" and LED headlights are now standard which just about makes up the difference.
  7. The features you mention have existed for over a decade. The locks with the fob in your pocket is really nice when you're juggling a couple small kids like I did for the first couple years we had our explorer. As others have mentioned, the fuel cap is one less thing to worry about, and has a flap to prevent siphoning. My explorer and F150 both have a funnel you have to use with a fuel can in the event you're dumb enough to run out of fuel. And if you want to lock, unlock, or start your vehicle from miles away, there's an app for that. As for your rental cars, as someone who has the joy of renting nearly weekly, welcome to the reality of the modern world. When everyone stopped traveling, the rental companies sold off their fleets. Like everyone else, they can't replace them right now with new vehicles, and you get to pay a lot more for a lot more miles.
  8. Anybody gotten this email? Wondering what the holdup is. F-350 CCSB 7.3L 3.73 FX-4 Sport appearance 5th wheel prep LED headlights Originally ordered December 30, 2021. I dropped black appearance because of the bedliner issues on Feb 14. Now I see they have a BAP without the Bedliner...
  9. I'll never have a truck without line-x again. I've had it in my last two trucks and it held up great. The bed isn't slippery when wet, and I've spilled gas and other chemicals on it and it cleaned up with a little All Purpose Cleaner and a hard spray of water at worst. I've never seen a drop in plastic one that didn't deform and rub paint off as it aged.
  10. Transferflow fuel tank for my Godzilla as soon as it's available. Line-x Swing out tool box on each side BAK Revolver X4s tonneau cover
  11. Haven't heard that one. If I have to go back to first year pay like I'm hoping to you can have my order slot!
  12. What are you skeptical of? With a reputable installer they're pretty much bulletproof. I've had two trucks with line Line-X and they've held up very well. My father in law has the factory spray-in and it looks nice, plus they put a ford logo on the back wall of the bed. As for durability, I have no idea. He hardly uses the truck. I would have no problem with the line-x. I'm still debating switching black appearance for sport on my 350 order but I won't drop the factory 5th wheel prep.
  13. I saw a 150 on the lot in antimatter. Sold. I've owned blue jean metallic 13, and a lightning blue metallic 18 F-150. Might as well keep the blue ford truck streak alive. Personally, I blame growing up around Bigfoot. I've had a thing for blue ford trucks all my life.
