Just joined the 2016 club!

Pulled the trigger today on a 2016 F350. Magnetic gray, 5th Wheel prep, loaded. Taking delivery on Friday! Love that new truck smell! Photo's later.

You have to pull the power mirror **** back and forth to simulate the mirrors waving.

Agreed! Just glad for the upgrade. Dont like running without warranty, and my 2011 fell within the timeframe for the suspected exhaust valve problems. Never had the problem, but I feel like 5 years newer Ford has had time to work out the kinks, and am hoping this is a solid truck for many years to come.

I traded my job 1 2011 in on a 16 for the same reason as you did. Congrats on the new Truck, I sure enjoy driving mine, as I'm sure that you will enjoy yours.

Yes you'll be getting the first aluminum vehicle. A nail bitter. Especially after you place the order

I just traded the old 2009 in for a shiny new 2016. Black 6.7, CC, DRW, KR, 4x4, 5th prep, etc. one beautiful truck with one scary MSRP.


The death wobble that I had a couple years ago and managed to get rid of had started coming back and the Blackstone reports had started showing signs of a possible bearing issue (increasing lead).


The death wobble meant a good $2k rebuilding the front end, bearings who knows but not cheap and I was about at the end of ESP so when it did the death wobble thing when I had a 24' trailer behind me and the new wife and 2.5 month old son in the truck that was enough.


I have the service manual CD on order from HELM, so I'll be reading up on all the new stuff soon.

Congrats- Enjoy the new Truck. i traded in over a year ago for a 2015 for the same reason. Was getting nervous about no warranty and I didn't have an extended warranty either.

Congrats and enjoy your new SD. Hope you enjoy at least half as much as we enjoy ours. Most comfortable vehicle we've ever had and it does everything I need it to do without any grumbling or complaining! Let's see some pics!
