Nice looking ride. Nice to see the early SuperDuties looking so good. Once I get past the rust I still love my '01. There is a quiet beauty in the soft swept lines which I will always treasure.

Shifting to retail is EXCELLENT news. That's the way it should have been from the get go. People with cash in hand to buy a truck should be top priority. Just because some dealers cheat the system and put a retail order under stock doesn't mean they should get higher priority. Kudos to Ford if they're moving to the retail orders.

Once Ford gets the cash, it doesn't matter if it came from the buyer's pocket or the bank. Even better, buyer finances through Ford credit and Ford gets to make interest on the purchase too!

To me, there is a big difference between "cash in hand" and a financing buyer. But I understand what you and AK are saying.

Dealer called this time. Truck is to be built September 2. I ran the serial through the Ford decoder and it says it is an XL. I hope not. Not even sure you can get an XL F450.
Time will tell.
