Hello All!
First I would like to say thanks to this forum, it's a very informative forum. It helped make my decision a little easier.
Now a little background about me.
I've had 3 Super Duty's prior to this. A 2000 7.3 which I still have, one of My Employees drives it. It has 300,000 on the Clock. I had a 2002 7.3 that I traded in on a 2011 when they first came out. After we sold our Toy Hauler, I didn't need My 2011 anymore. I sold it and bought a 2013 Raptor. Best riding Truck I've ever had, the only problem was the 5.5 bed, we have a vacation home 1000 miles away. My Wife packs as if it's the Apocalypse.
So Last February, when we were at our Cabin, My Wife said I needed a bigger Truck. At first I was looking at 150's with the 6.5 bed. After the sticker shock of a Platinum F 150, I decided to look at the Super duty's for a few thousand more. So back in July, I went to my Dealer and had him do a transfer for a Ruby Red SB with the Brunello interior. He got it within a few Days. I put my Raptor on his Consignment lot, after a Month and a few Deals that fell through on My Raptor, I decided to just trade it in. The Day I decided to trade it in, we found out about the inflatable seatbelt ordeal. Fast Forward 2 Months. I got sick of waiting for the fix, so on Friday I went and bought a White Platinum ultimate, with Black interior.
Looking forward to all My mods.
I just traded my 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie for the 2017 Super Duty Diesel Platinum ultimate package. Hoping to take delivery tomorrow. They had to trade with another dealer across the state.

Good looking truck and in my opinion, the best color.
Thanks Guys.
First impressions of the Truck
1 The 17's are light years ahead of my 11
2 Apple Car Play is awesome, never knew what it was, didn't really care until I started using it.
3 Massaging seats will be a must have for any Vehicle I have from here on out. Again another feature that wasn't a must have for me, but now that I have them it's over!
4 Although it doesn't ride as good as My Raptor, it rides a lot better then my 11 Did.
5 know Your settings! I was driving a levy road the other Night, I came in to a very sharp turn and the fire alarms went off. Red flashing lights, and the alarms sounded. scared the S..T out of Me.
6 Adaptive cruise is another awesome feature!
7 This Truck has more storage then My House does. It's going to make it nice on the Long 2500 mile trips we take.
All in all I love this new Truck
So were the massaging seats part of an additional package? I didn't think they were part of the Ultimate package.

No they're standard on the Platinum. Before I got the Platinum, I was trying to decide between a Loaded Lariat or a Platinum. I actually thought the seats in the Lariat were more comfortable then that of the Platinum. Even though they weren't massaging. I really didn't think I would ever turn on my massaging seats. However On a recent 1 Hour drive My Wife turned on Hers and said You have got to try these. I was amazed!!! I must add I have lower back problems and the seats seam as if they were tailor made specifically to meet my needs.
