Cotus at least gives me something to look at, you 350 guys are getting shafted. I wonder why they don't track them with COTUS. Either way, glad your order is in with the caribou accent. I was afraid mine wouldn't make it due to them closing out the caribou the day after i ordered. Thankfully ford picked up the order and just doing the waiting game now!!

Thanks Steven! By coincidence I went by the dealer today with my tape measure, thinking they'd be closed. They weren't, but the sales weasels left me alone to measure the bed height - I got 20.25" to the bottom of the side "lip", and 21.5" to the very top of the bed side. Don't know where the roll top cover would lay relative to the sides, but I'm pretty sure my 19.95" generator and your 19.75" cooler would fit fine under a tonneau cover.

I e-mailed Kim at Truck Covers USA to ask if they had a 2017 F250 with one of their covers on it that they could measure. She said she'd work on it.

While I was at it I measured the trailer hitch to see how much of a drop I'd need for a trailer ball mount. It was 23.25" on one truck, 23.75" on another. Both had 20" wheels. The truck I've got coming will have 18" wheels. Don't know if that'll make a difference, but I suspect not much. Spec "C" in your chart above has a range of only .3" among all the variants of F250..... But then again spec "A" has about a 3" spread....
Maybe I should just wait 'till I actually get my truck. I bet the ground clearance is almost identical between the 4X4 and the 4X2 drive trucks since the taller ones have the larger front spoiler!

Have a Happy 4th!

Erik did you see that incentives went up today!!. Rebate went from 1000 customer cash to $2250 and they kept the 750$ ford Financing incentive. So total rebates went to $3000 for me instead of $1750 like before )))

No, all I'm seeing is a 4.9% APR offer. Maybe it's only for your zipcode?

What site are you looking at?

my zip is 30028 but all of georgia is same.

go here

http://www.ford.com/trucks/super-duty/2017/pricing-and-incentives/?gnav=vhpnav

but at the top click "offers by model" you should find it

my king ranch went from 1000$ offer to $2250 and on the main screen where it shows the 60months for 4.9% it has 750$ rebate as well. I'm refinancing with my credit union though after I take rebate

That's weird. When I use your link it shows the $2250 for the XL and XLT only. When I go to ford.com on my iPhone and pull up offers it does show it for the Lariat.

Maybe I need to clear my cookies, or just be patient and try again tomorrow.

Thanks!

My F450 Platinum will be built the week of 7/24 (I ordered it on 5/19). I don't have an ETA other than "it should arrive sometime around the middle of August." I suspect, and hope, it will arrive sooner!

The Ford offer of $750 rebate for Ford financing is not worth it. I just got mine yesterday and it is financed through Citizen's at 3.81. This was financed for an amount more than the invoice as I had a 2017 Platinum that I did not like so I lost some money on the deal.

You can always finance thru Ford to get the rebate. Then switch it over to whoever has the best rate. That way you get both.

Yes, now we wait....

srkrit, I've figured out why I couldn't see the $2250 offer for the Lariat I have on order. I had forgotten that Mozilla Firefox, at least on my PC, doesn't always play nice with all websites. When I switched to Google Chrome the "Offers by Model" tab actually worked and showed me the different models. Still not sure the full $2250 applies if Ford Credit is not used, so will likely do like you and use Ford Credit, later refinance via my credit union.

FWIW when I did the math earlier to calculate the total finance charge over three years of the Ford Credit program vs. my credit union's lower interest rate the difference came to exactly $750, so it was a toss up. Now that the rebate is larger it pays to at least start with Ford Credit.

The extra money saved will help pay for the accessories I've already ordered: A Truck Covers USA Roll Cover, Weathertech mudflaps, and front and rear wheel well liners. I feel a little silly ordering the stuff over a month ahead of time, but vendors seemed to be in a sales mood around the 4th of July.

i think the $2250 offer is separate from the $750 financing offer, just like before it's been 1000$ offer and the $750 finance offer.

I calculated around 1300$ savings if I take the finance ford offer and turn around a refi that week for 2.1% with my credit union. $750 + (interest savings of my credit union vs ford loan)

im the same as you I already ordered a retrax cover and bought an OBD mx reader to run Forscan on it

Cool! The OBD reader is on my list of goodies to get too. I want my side mirrors to fold back and the horn to not blow when I lock the truck, among other possible software mods.
