Changes for 2018?

Tomorrow I am going to order an F450 King Ranch. The price is about $15,000 less than it was in January of this year.
I am not aware of any big changes coming for 2018 but I have heard about a new front fascia and tail lights for the 2019.
I've also read about a possible 10 speed trans in 2019 and I'd rather stick with the current one for now.
Besides this news, are there any drastic updates coming for 2018?

OK, you piqued my curiosity as a buyer around then... I paid around $74.5k for my F450 KR ultimate with almost every option ($82.3K sticker). What sticker / actual prices are you seeing?

BTW, there are pictures of a pumpkin-orange interior out there claiming to be the 2018 KR.

Right...sticker prices have actually gone up, not down. I'm unsure why you think prices are now 15k cheaper?

New paint colors, some paint color discontinued, new King Ranch interior color for the seats and center console called kingsville, new platinum interior color, B&O stereo system. I think that's about it for the super duty.

I don't doubt it...but what will we be spending our $90-100k on? The price gap between a $30k 4x2 XL truck and a $90k+ 4x4 Limited truck is massive considering they are both built on the same exact bones and will have many of the exact same parts in them. That's a lot of "fluff."

In some ways, I liked how GM made a "work truck" dashboard and a "luxury" dashboard based upon truck trim for the 2007-2013 GMT900 trucks. Maybe not cost effective, but at least you feel like you are getting more for your money.

Yep, but they'll still line up like lambs to the slaughter. 96 month loan, anyone?

Better off doing it through your HLOC and writing off the interest. It's as expensive as a small house so it only makes sense...

I sure don't want that pumpkin interior truck.
I'm in western Canada and our prices are deep into the 90's for this truck.
Ford is offering about 14k in employee pricing discounts and 1k off for Costco.
I wish we had U.S prices for warranty also. The esp is over double your price in Canada.
Anyway, thanks for all the replies. I am going to order this later today.
I'm thinking white platinum/Caribou.

Presuming one owns a house, and has equity. Limited...to the number of people Ford can find to line up and sign a contract.
