F450 all the way.  The tighter turning radius on the F450 will make a world of difference backing up in tight RV parks, as well as navigating parking lots easier since it will be a daily driver.  Fuel economy will suffer a bit over an F350 when empty, but likely will be the same (or even slightly better) when towing.

Had the GD9Z-1007-A wheels, 18 inch.  The Nautilus was available with the same style but in a 20 inch wheel.  I had the center caps from the MKC line, EJ7Z-1130-A, those where the Black Label caps.

According to this article, Ford doesn’t think pricing is an issue.    https://www.motor1.com/news/747170/ford-mustang-priced-right-despite-low-sales/   I would beg to differ. Any article about low mustang sales is filled with comments about its price. Sharing a platform with another vehicle could help lower the price. A Lincoln or thunderbird could be options. An alternative could be something like the Toyota Supra/bmw z4 deal. Wouldn’t a Camaro/mustang deal be crazy? 

Not a ton from what I've heard, a few parts here and there. 

Sorry to hear this.  I have a '23 and hope to keep it for 8-10 years. Which Continental rims did yours have?

It shares a lot with CD6.

Develop a platform that can be shared with other performance vehicles, stabilize sales with a variety of interesting derivatives. 

Because there are days where it seems like Ford hates fun lol. I agree, get the truck, utilities, the boring stuff that's actually gonna sell, get that on the market first, it takes priority. I just hear Ford talking about how they want all of their future models to be something very few other people are offering, so it seems this is at least worth a shot. 

Who says they won't?  A small truck may be the first vehicle we'll see built off the CE1 platform, but I'm sure it won't be the last.  Look how versatile the C2 platform has proven to be.
