What year is this?

Any telltale signs that indicate what model year?

Those headlights started in 2011,so it’s 2011 or newer. Grill looks just like my 2011, so I place my bets on it being a 2011

I don't think there's any way to tell from that pic. It's a 2011-2016. That grill is on all the Platinum models. It's the same as my 14 was.

I know my garbage cans, and that green beauty is a 2013 model with the optional rubberized lid hold down.

I have to disagree on that. It does look like what you say, but a closer look at the tire tread you will see that is the 2012 Canadian model. The rubberized lids looks aftermarket to me.

Can only narrow it down to '11 - '16. If you look at the tailgate, I think '11 - '12 had the tailgate without the "crease" across that dipped under the tailgate handle. '13 - '16 had that crease across it. I think. I could be wrong on all counts, but I think I'm close at least.

2011 was the last year for the harley davidson edition super duty. So I would say it's a 2011.

Yeah, but this guessing game is kinda fun. It would be nice to get the right answer at the end though.
