brickman,
When you get a chance, can you measure from the bottom of the hitch receiver to ground? We are scheduled to leave for 6 weeks in FLA right after my new truck is supposed to arrive, and I can't stand the thought of leaving it behind for that long. We currently have a bumper pull and my hitch is set up for my F150. I'm pretty sure the receiver height will be different on the F350 and would like to see if there will be enough adjustment in the shank length to make it work. If it will work, I can go ahead and make the course adjustment since we won't have a lot of time after it gets here. No big rush, it is still an eternity before it gets here (or will at least seem like it). We will be trading for a 5th wheel next summer, so don't want to spend the money for a longer shank. If it won't work, I may have to cancel the trip and stay home with my new truck!
Thanks

That's great news. You are going to luv it when it when you get it. Just installed a Backrack on mine the other day. Towed the 5th wheel with it for the first time last weekend, about 600 miles, the power is incredible it stayed in 6th all the way never shifted down unless I did It manually

Brickman,
The date at the bottom of my WS changed today from 9/29/17 (in the white border) to 10/06/2017 today. Did you see the date change on your WS when you were waiting? I think it means it was built today? Please say yes!

Sorry but no. It seems that the window sticker date in the white border updates when ever you go and do a new look-up for it. My best source was the dealer themselves but even they only had a ballpark build date for it.

Did you not read my last sentence? Just kidding, I guess when it arrives the dealer will call me. Until then, I wait. Thanks.
