I have both a 2024 Platinum F350 SRW and a DRW. We pull a 42' toy hauler at 21k lbs when loaded. Pin weight is usually around 3800-4000 lbs. Both trucks pull it fine. But I can say with certainty, I ain't pulling the toy hauler on trips with my SRW. The difference the DRW provides (along with being well within all payload and axel limits), is night and day. It's just a much more solid and stable ride. And, the dually is my wife's daily driver. She loves it. There is no harm in daily driving a dually. But having the added stability while towing far outweighs any hang ups about having to drive the dually when not towing.

I have a 2024 Platinum F350 DRW with the HO 6.7L. We tow our 20k+ pound triple axle Brinkley toy hauler with gooseneck conversion. It handles it perfectly fine. No complaints whatsoever.

My dealer also sent me screenshots from their VINview system while it was in transit. After waiting a year and a half, it was a very welcome site to finally "see" something concrete!

I believe the 3 of us have the F350 Platinum and pretty sure they rolled down the line at fairly close to the same time in January (mine arrived at the dealer on 1/18/24). Although not concrete, you might think the same version would be on all 3 of our trucks being so close together. Of course that's just a thought as I know well enough things can change one day to another in that regard. I've had my software updates set to automatic and I check my router every morning and can see the communication to the Ford servers overnight. Still showing me as up to date. Maybe they discovered issues with that newer version and stopped pushing it out (I can only hope). But I'm going to still leave my updates set to automatic as it won't be a show stopper if I get the version you guys have and I lose the HUD nav. If anything changes, I'll be sure to update this thread.

Correct. I DO see navigation instructions when using either Google Maps through Android Auto or the built-in Navigation on the truck. Here are a couple of pictures I've snagged.....

I can confirm that both my built-in navigation as well as my Android Auto Google Maps navigation both show up in my HUD. I just took delivery of my 2024 this week. The Sync 4 version for mine is 23167_PRODUCT, Revision 926.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 37-12.5-20. The wheels have a +1 offset. I wanted a more positive offset around +20 but this particular wheel only had +1 and -18. I liked the style so much, I decided to go with it. I have the heavy service front suspension and was hoping not to have any rub. But there was a tiny bit of rub on the inside fender on the cab side. The little plastic piece that sticks out towards the midline of the truck was getting rubbed when turning about halfway. I've since trimmed that piece and it is still very close. Not sure yet how it will be with truck flex in turns, etc.

Lol. I think it will do. ?

So I finally picked it up yesterday afternoon after the long wait from 2022. Got the Retrax and spray-in liner done. Had the new wheels and tires put on this morning. Benefit of the LWB.......all 4 of my OEM takeoffs are laying inside the bed with the cover closed! Here's a quick shot as it has been pouring down rain this week.......

Well, a lot has happened in the last 7-10 days. The dealer sent me a screenshot of the VINview tracking and it was on rail in Arkansas making it's way to the DFW area on Friday (a week ago). It made the final truck leg to the dealer yesterday (Thursday). It's going for the spray-in bed liner and tonneau cover today and hoping to get it in my driveway tomorrow. Then I'll get the new wheels and tires first thing next week. Pictures to follow after that. But after my 2023 order from 2022 fell through and this order from July '23, I'm ready to put all of this ordering and tracking angst behind me. But here's the timeline for those waiting for similar builds (my build in the sig below). Mine also includes the 5th Wheel prep and Heavy Duty Front Suspension.

Should have waited one more day before posting this yesterday. I'm back to seeing some movement again. Noticed last night that the BCE modules all populated and then this morning the tracker updated, showing the truck as built. I'll keep saying "the" truck and not "my" truck until I have this thing in my driveway.

My production week has now come and gone with no updates for a production day. Was hoping to see something change on the tracker at least by today (1/8/24). My dealer told me back on 12/20/23 that the build "date" was 1/7/24. And I did get the window sticker on 12/21/23. The excitement of finally getting a production week after my original order was placed in 2022 has once again started to wear off.

Thanks for those pictures and congratulations on taking delivery. I have a long bed F350 Platinum Glacier Gray that is scheduled for build for this week (still no update though). I originally hated what I was seeing in those first pictures of GG. But it has definitely grown on me. It's just one of those colors that changes with every view, lighting, camera, etc. I think I'll be ok if I can just ever get my butt in the seat of my own!

Agreed. Underwhelming for sure. Thanks for the close-up.

Is there any hint of metallic in that? It's Glacier Gray "Metallic" Tri-Coat but I have yet to see a picture that makes it look anything other than flat.
