You know what they say about driving a rental....

 

...drive it like you stole it! Rep sent for that one.

 

Is it me or does the paint seem to lay a little different on aluminum? Seems ruby red and silver just have a different look in an absolute good way not complaining.

 

Is the wheel bolt pattern the same as the outgoing models? Still 8X170?

 

The air dams on the Super Duty aren't as heinous as they are on the F-150. Most people do most of their driving on-road - in which case the air dam provides some benefits. I figure if I was going to do a weekend of serious off-road driving, I'd just remove the air dam. Unfortunately, off-road driving serious enough to warrant the removal of the air dam means there's a good likelihood of denting the DPF tube - something I'm not willing to risk.

Yes it is.

 

Awesome news, so I can buy nice new winter/off-road wheels for my current F250 and use them on the '17 as soon as I get it. Thanks!

 

I have a set of take off 20's ready to go on my XL when it gets here.

 

I've noticed that too, especially the F150's I've seen in person. The paint just seems smoother with a better overall finished look.

 

aluminum doesn't appear to be as reflective as steel, which is a good thing.

 

These trucks may not have been painted the same way the production trucks are, but I would have to say that the shine of steel vs. aluminum would not matter in how the finished paint would look because both would need to be primed first. The primer color can make a difference with metallic top coat color..

Would be nice if you could order a truck without that Sirius BS built into the radio. I hate paying for that crap since I never use it and have even had the free subscription cancelled and then had me put on their "Do Not Nag" list...

 

I hated the big air dam on my 2011 4x4, so I just swapped it for the 2wd version. It gives better clearance and looks way better... might can do the same on the 17's. Come on September

 

I'll post as I go throughout the day as they have spec sheets for each individual truck we drive. White Gold 350 Long Bed Platinum! Y'all see those towing numbers for the SRW...

 

Well, hot damn. That thing is rated to tow my toyhauler with that GCWR. Who needs a 450 anyway...

It's funny they are lumping the 5th wheel rating in with conventional towing based on the 18k 5th hitch that's offered for the SRW... One would think that if it can handle a 19k GN it can handle 19k 5th.

 

So that ones equipped with a 3" hitch, isn't it? Well are they using a ball mount with a reducer or did they find a 3 inch mount? Looks amazing, thanks for all as always
