Finally bit the bullet and ordered a 2014!
I ordered a 2014 F350 extended cab short box 4x4 Lariat last night. Went for black again w/ black interior I got the rapid heater, lariat interior pkg, navigation w/ touch screen, snowplow prep, cab lights, wheel liners, body molding and heated-cooled seats. I finally figured its time so I used my X Plan pin code and Im trading in my 07 6 liter. I will really miss the rumble of the diesel and all smoke and stink! LOL.
Anyway questions I have:
Does the 2011 body sit higher than the 2007? I saw one on the lot w/ snowplow prep pkg and it sat just as high as my 07 F350 w/ snowplow prep and 2 1/2" cage blocks? I cant exceed 7' to the cab or ill have convertible in the parking garage at work.
Also can I swap out the exhaust and put on an MBRP 4" I still have a new muffler in the box yet?
Will my stainless steel cab steps fit from my 07 to my 14? The cab frame looks the same from 99-14
Will my wheels and lug nuts fit I have a set of 305 65 R18's on aftermarket wheels

new truck
Congrats on the new 2014 truck. You are going to love it. I believe there is a new dash different from my 2011 Lariet. I can't answer your questions as I don't know enough about that but I remember getting my metallic black 6.7 with the options you have and I drive my truck a lot, just for enjoyment. Right now my baby is in the body shop as someone dinged my rear passenger door in the parking lot. Their door banged my truck and I am paying over $700.00 to get it fixed. I came out and noticed the dent right away. No one was around as they just left but had to know they hit my truck. And it didn't look like much but I can't have my truck, that otherwise looks pristine with that dent in her. I get her back tomorrow.
Good luck with the truck and hope everything fits for you.

If your truck is an F350 you can forget about fitting it through a 7' garage door. I can't use the double wide door in my 3 car garage because it is only 7' high. I use the custom door that I have which is 10' high and I can drive my truck in with the quad in the back. Need all of 7' clearance and then a few more inches so an 8' residential garage door works, or a 7'6" parking garage. Your configuration may vary slightly as I have a leveling kit and air bags and I can't clear the 7' door by about 4".

I have an 07 F350 now and its 6' 10" Im assuming the 2014 isn't much different, they look the same to me.
My question about the aftermarket wheels was the offset and bolt pattern, good to know they will fit!
As for exhaust that's disappointing not to swap it out, I like a 5" pipe not 2 little 2" chrome tailpipes. If I remove the entire exhaust and get a tuner wont I loose my warranty? And will it pass inspection?
Can someone school me on the 6.7l diesel, all the emmisions and this regen everyone is talking about? What fuel additives are good/bad? I use powerservice cetane boost and 2 cycle oil now.

My one week old 2013 F350, 11,500 GVWR, outfitted similar to yours, fits with inches to spare through my 84" high by 93" wide. Mirrors must be folded back before entering. I do not have the clearance lights on the cab. They would add too much height. Am adding a Leer canopy cab high. the taller canopies would not fit in the garage. Oh, and the length of my garage is 255". I must "kiss" the back wall to ensure the garage door closes without collision with the bumper.
