For The sake of the 2018 SRW heavy towing crowd, I hope Ford finally bumps the max F350 SRW GVWR by 800# to at least match the 12,300# Ram rating.

No changes for the SRW trucks that I can see. Ram still has the lead there with 12.3 on the long beds and 11.7 on the SB.

Guess I will wait to see when the 2019's will launch, I can wait a bit more, but this 2018 guide is super disappointing.
As an engineer working in product development I know too much to buy a first model year, 2017 is just not going to happen...

Major changes, no I didn't expect any. However I did expect them to at least have the same changes as the 150 especially the ones related to the cab they share like say the B&O stereo, and the 4G hotspot capability. For the truck I want to order it got worse and no better, they removed the lighted platinum on the door sills which was very nice IMO.

Also looks like you can now get a 2wd platinum for the first time

I wish I knew why Ford does this. (You know how much this irritated me after waiting nearly a year to buy the 2017 F350 SRW - I sure do like my F450 though!)

There is no ETA. Scheduling doesn't even begin until 10/19 which means no VIN till around there. Any guessing by a dealer would be just that at the moment, a pure guess.
