Big White Whale! 2016 F450 Platinum

Yeah, went to the dealership to show my father a F450 and see how it drove......

2 hours later..... It's mine and being delivered tomorrow. They

let me take my truck home and remove everything I wanted to keep.

Happy but wondering if I made the right call.

It's a 2016 Platinum with 4 miles and a build date of Aug 16.

More pictures to come tomorrow when its detailed, refilled, and delivered. Say bye bye to Brown Bomb and hello to While Whale

So i thought this truck would have a harsher ride than my 250....wrong.. this truck rides soo much smoother and my wife loves the reduced height to get in. But the ride really suprised me.

Congratulations on the new truck......It is a beauty!!!!!!! But you dol know that Bronze Fire paint would have given it 40 more HP??????
Just kidding......enjoy your new ride, and yup, I think the F350 DRW rides better than my F250 CCSB did!!

And welcome to the wide hips/big azz club!!!! You will enjoy it!!

Congrats, Justin !
What you are feeling is called buyers remorse, it will dissipate rapidly with this purchase. LOL
Enjoy your beautiful truck.

Congrats Justin!!! That's great to hear on the ride quality improvement as I'm going to be making a similar swap when the 2017 order bank opens up. I was worried about the 450's ride quality and there are ZERO anywhere me to test drive. I'd send new truck reps but I've got to spread the love first...
