Great looking truck, Tom!

Thanks Bruce!

 

SUre did Roy, Friday:












I thought my '15 KR Dually would be my last truck, but the '17 Ford really really has taken trucks to a whole 'nother level....

 

Sweet! Wish you the best!

 

How come you didn't go dually again?

 

Don, that has got to bet the best looking 17 I've seen so far! I'm a sucker for two tone, and it's the only longbed SRW I've seen that isn't an XL so far. What was the end result with the 15 dually? Did they total it, replace the frame, or.............?

 

Sold my Truck slide in camper and moved to a small 5th wheel (9000 lbs) and just did not need the dually anymore, so went SRW.

Picked it up 2 weeks ago, bill was nearly $8k, they said the frame was not bent, which was a Relief to me as selling or trading in you eat it HARD.

But I got it home and I would put money on a torqued (twisted) frame. The right rear corner of the bed was clearly lower and the bed did not sit square to the cab. NOT MUCH, but enough to be visible IF you are looking for it and you got a level or tape. He said they measured it and there was not bend in it, ok, buy that but there was clearly a twist from front to rear.

Carfax is not showing it maybe my Ins company has not reported yet or because there was no one in the truck, took place on my property, not other vehicle involved.

But was not going to take the chance that it would show up on carfax and it prompted me to buy a 17 which I might have waited on the '18, but would def upgrade from my /15 after seeing the 17.

They gave me a really good trade and they told me they are sending it straight to auction, they don't do a lot of used cars, its a very small dealership.

 

I would have traded off the 15 too. Looked kind of twisted in the accident pictures.

Love the looks of the new truck.

I like my '16 DRW just fine but will give the '17 model a year or two to work out the kinks. Then I'll try one of those.

 

Bingo, I'm waiting for 2018 also...... I had a 2017 F450 Platinum in black with an 10" lift and huge tires pass me today......totally impractical and useless to me that big and high, but interesting to see that people are already putting a ton of aftermarket money into them.

 

Don, that is one damn fine looking truck my friend! Oh, drop your Dually forum keycard in the return box on your way out

 

I think he should go back and get the rest of the wheels. That racing red was so fast he left them behind.


Glad it worked out enough. I would have traded too. I don't think that truck would have drove the same after repairs.

 

That's a heck of a nice truck Don. Makes sence on the dually part.

 

Was looking at the inventory at my local dealer's lot on-line today and noticed a 2017. Nice looking trucks. I have no need for a DRW truck but like the looks of the 2017.

Looks like I'm in. Truck is dirty since I'm working it, and no time for a great picture yet, but here it is...
