So, we would like a 14 (or 13 if we can find it) F150 Crew Cab with the 6.5 bed.

The problem is, we need a new one for the tax write off next year, for whatever reason they won't let you write off a used one when you own your own business.

I can't really afford a 15.. and honestly don't really like the look.

Does anyone have a good suggestion on where to find a leftover. My local dealer has tons, but all with the short bed, we really need the long bed for our business.

Thanks in advance.

 

ford website......dealer search..........keep plugging in different zip codes till you find what you need. i found mine 150 miles away.

 

I got pretty lucky with my brand new '13 at the end of January. Why not search on AutoFinder for new 13's and 14's to help you find where the inventory is? That is how I found my truck. I had to travel a couple hours to pick it up, but it was worth the great deal.

 

Got mine last week by using ford.com dealer inventory search based on my zip code. Filtered the search for Supercrew, 4x4, ecoboost, 6.5 bed, and Lariat. Then contacted local dealer for availability of specific F150 that I filtered out. Got good price on the truck, then haggled hard for my trade-in of 2007 Supercrew 6.5 bed. I'm pleased with the deal of 2014 being last year model of the 09-14 generation.

500 miles from you, but i'm sure they would ship you one or possibly even dealer trade.

^^^^^^ This.

 

Find a new tax man. I bought a 2006 and took deprecation over 4 years. I don't think in NC you can take all of a purchase that large at once.

 

While there is a Denver, NC ... billybobzia (the O/P) is from CO.

So ... Are the tax laws the same there as NC?

by long bed do you mean 8ft or 6.5ft. I know a lot of people these days consider the 6.5ft a "long" box on a F150. If you want a 8ft box the selection might be pretty limited, but I'm sure someone has one.

 

depends on the cab configuration.

short box super or standard cab is 6.5' long.
long box on crew cab is 6.5' long

 

No, I am wrong.. sort of.. you can write off a used vehicle, however, when you buy a new vehicle you get a much bigger write off, especially the first year, they give you a "bonus" if its new.. for example, we wrote off the truck this year, as its the first year we put it in service and got a 25k write off.

 

Take a look at Woodhouse.com. They are in Blair, Nebraska and have many 2014's. Just bought one myself.

 

Oh me, I've always wanted to visit Blair, NE! Now I have a reason! I found another "dream" truck for me!

Wow, I looked at the link, they have a heap of my dream trucks! 1,150 miles from me...

 

I've been by their lot a couple of times and I've never seen so many trucks in one spot. I bet their new lot is at least 10 acres. I've been told that the salesman don't even let you go through the lot because it would take a person so long to decide on a truck, you just tell them exactly what you want and they will bring one up for you to look at.
