Biggest Complaint

I have owned my F350 Lariat Ultimate CCLB for about a month now. Absolutely LOVE the truck and most everything about it. I know this has been mentioned before...but come on Ford, I spend darn near $60k before tax on this thing and you can't even give me LED lights or something that looks like it came out of the 21st century? Even the $15k Hyundai in the lane next to me has LED lights from the factory. Just a joke, man.

The sticker on my XLt was $52k. Only thing I would change or complain about would be the ****TY sound system and Led bulbs please.
My wifes $23k dodge caravan has a way better sound system.

I really miss the auto-dimming rearview mirror and the ability to fold in the mirrors after I open the door from my '13.

I think the LED lights are fugly. I prefer the XL and XLT lights. If you make a light that's LED and supposed to look cool, you better hit a home run with it. Otherwise it looks contrived and distracting.


Your truck has a rear view mirror? That's cute.

Can’t put too many bells and whistles on the lower trime levels or you devalue the higher ones. When we had XL, XLT and Lariat it was simpler. Now with King Ranch, Platinum and Limited more stuff has to be taken away from XL and XLT!

To each his own. I love the LED lights on the truck. It was one of the things that drew me to it. They are different and look way better than the GM and Dodge lights.

I agree with @TxHeat I love the LED's on the new Super Duty's. Nothing competes with this front end at the moment IMO.

i really like the led tail lights on the superdutys the headlights are so so IMO..
i did see a f-150 with the led amber strip around the head lights and that looked really sweet!
i wish ford made more options for us RCLB guys! i would love to have a platinum in a RCLB or even a lariat (not a fan of KRs)


i pretty much got a fully loaded RCLB XLT truck: blis/nav/sync3/remote start. like really u just couldn't add the black leather

If you want a supercab 8' bed you can't get LED lights, you can't get electric running boards, you can't get any trim levels above a Lariat and many of the Lariat options are not available in a Supercab. I would have bought a Platinum Supercab if it had been an available option. Ford could have easily gotten another $10,000 dollars out of me; instead it is going to the aftermarket.

RCLB = Regular Cab Long Bed??? So far I have no complaints with my 350 XL Regular Cab eight foot bed with STX package. It came with everything I need/want. I have power windows and doors, heated rear window and mirrors, built in brake controller, fancy five camera system, (never imagined such a thing coming from a 2002 chevy with crank windows☺) Upfitter switches, 4:30 locking rear end, running boards, roof clearance lights and more. I am quite certain I would enjoy and get very used to some of the other options, but for me, the extra $15k for the lariat is better spent elsewhere. Even if I did want more options, Ford, due to what I have to assume are market based decisions, would force me into a bus, I mean larger cab( insert appropriate abbreviations here). ☺ Well, coffee time is over have a good day!
