Congrats Don. I've really thought about it but with only 12,000 miles plus on my 2015 and it being paid off I have a problem pulling that trigger.

Nice build but I think they may have a problem getting the tires on your rims.

I know what you are thinking and I brought this up and they are sure they can get the 20" wheels, and yes I mentioned that on Ford site there is nothing but 18" wheels???? Anyhow one of the things they need to sort out tween now and Fri. I have seen the 20's but not on a King Ranch....

Cj I gotcha on that and I had think on it but: Here is the "Black Book" on my 2015, F 350, CC, LB, Dually, King Ranch w/15,500 mi:

$47,455 - $53,430. Time I spank that 17 with that, I owe less than $30k so my decision is do I pay all cash and trade walk out free and clear or do I get some cheap money and make payments for a couple of years.. Not sure what I will do, can go either way...

Then there is the '17, WOW from my engineers eyes this truck is a real winner, its more than a generation ahead of the 2015 and that goes in spades if you are towing something (5th wheel in my case).

The cameras (as in 7) are amazing, when you see the 360 degree camera it will blow your socks off (my wife has it on her car and its amazing!)

THANK YOU. I got hold of Matt Ford and you were right, they sent me a quote and talked with the wife about going to Independence Missouri and she frowned on that. So facing driving up there from S Tex and back by myself I, went back to my dealer and told him Invoice (-) $1k and $500 and I order today. he said yes so, bingo I won.

You get down San Antoio way, coffee, NO, Dinner is on me and coffee to.

I'm sure you'll love it either way. The PVD wheels come in either 18" (647) or 20" (649). You can see them in the order guide page 11-12, specs on page 22.

WOW, what a resource. That link should be a separate sticky thread for people who want order a Superduty. The dealers/sales people really have no idea.

Thanks and no, I did not. I wanted to, this is where I live and the dealer I use for support but, again for the 3 rd time its a no go. Sad. That said we also have a Jeep Dealer here in Boerne. Tried to buy a new Jeep there twice, once was an ordered Jeep Grand Cherokee, the other a Rubicon HardRock. Fail!

There are some dealers that just don't get it.

That is the old order guide. It was updated in May and included some important changes. It was used and discussed in detail way back then:
