Wide track is not available for SRWs. It's the standard axle for the 450s and was/is an option on the 350 DRWs. I heard it wouldn't be available on the 2011 350s but haven't been able to verify that.
It got dropped from the 2010 F-350 trucks as well. Ford said there weren't enough takers to justify keeping it as an option. It's still on the F-450 though.
I have it on my truck. If you ever have to make a tight U turn you will appreciate the feature. I am sorry to hear that it will not be available on the 2011's.
You said what I meant. I had a 2005 F-350 long bed dually. Same with my 2008. So much better, backing, turning and stability. The wide track was one heck of a feature.
My work truck is a 2006 F450 and my P/U is a 2008 F250. The 450 will turn inside the circle of the 250 even though it has a 12 foot utility bed. Like the others have stated it's a difference of daylight and dark backing a trailer.
