Took the plunge

After much reading, thinking, test driving and ruminating I ordered a 2015 F-350 King Ranch with the 6.7 diesel. Dealer told me 8 weeks for delivery. We're planning on more extended journeys pulling a larger camper in the near future. This should do it.

I just hope it's as reliable and solid as my 2010.

Dave

Congrats on the order. It will be a long wait but it will go quickly.

Congratulations. I too took the plunge and just bought a 2014 on May 29th. Traded my old friend a 99.5 f-350 SRW in for a f-350 Platinum SRW. I hope that she will be just as awesome as my 99.5 with over 360,000 miles.

Congratz Dave!!

I'm just about to pull the trigger on a 2015 SD CC DRW PSD myself... Waiting for the dealer to get done sharpening his pencil a bit more...
Do you mind telling us if your dealer was actually dealing or were you right around sticker price?

We plan on towing a 15k+ Fifth wheel toy hauler..

Regards - Randy

Thanks for the well wishes. Appreciated.

Randy, the dealer was "dealing". We ended up no where near sticker. But I've worked with this dealer before.

Sounds good Dave.. I've bought one car from my dealer before and am trading in a spotless like new 2013 Mustang Premium with less than 500 (yes five hundred) miles on it.. Right now the trade in value is just okay but the price he wants is basically sticker. I'm also looking at (gulp) Duramax-Allison trucks now..

I'd really rather have the SD, but if he doesn't come off the mark - well.....

Thanks for the info.. These trucks are so new, it seems that many dealers won't come off of sticker yet..

Regards - Randy

Dealers are not going to budge off sticker price on the '15's as long as they have '14's still on the lot. I got $10K off my '14 without even stepping on the lot (gotta love the internet). Brought in some vehicles to trade in and walked out with the truck.
