Need your option.

Not sure what is the best way to go. I know that I need to be happy with the truck but I am looking at what is the best from a money point and a daily driver. I do not tow except for a 5x7 landscaping trailer under 2000 lbs.

I ordered a 2019 but the Dealer has a 2018 siting on the lot that I also like.


The 2019 is a Regular 6.2 long bed with the following:

WHITE, Gray Cloth Seats, Tail Gate Steps, Wheel Liners (Front and Rear), XLT Value Package, Extra Extra Heavy Duty Alternator, LED Clearance Lights, LED Box Lighting, Rear Window - Defrost with Fixed and Privacy Glass, Upfitter Switches, Running Boards, Remote Start, Skid Plates, Carpet Delete, Power Mirrors, Spray Bed Liner, Hood Deflector, Snow Prep / Camper package, Bed Tailgate Lowering Control

The 2018 is a Crew Cab 6.2 with a short bed:

Ruby Red, 18 inch tires, 3.73 locking axle, XLT Package, FX4, Chrome Tube Step Bar, Navigation system, Snow Plow Package, BLIS (Blind spot Info System), Upfitter switches, Remote Start, Tailgate Steps, Cloth 40/Console/40 seat, Sync3

What one would you purchase if both were priced the same?

 

If they are priced the same, the 2018 seems to be equipped with more popular options, and the crew cab will always be significantly more valuable on resale (if that is important to you). Unless you need a regular cab for space reasons or must have the long bed, I don't see much downside to buying the crew.

 

I'd buy the 2018 Crew Cab all day long simply because you will have better resale value and you will enjoy it better too.

 

I don't have a topper on this truck so having a crew cab gives me a place to throw camping gear that I don't want to get wet or that I want to be more secure than just sitting in the bed. I do carry a few people with me when I go camping. The crew cab is more comfortable than the extra cab or whatever it's called.

 

 

Hands down, the crew cab.

 

But he's not asking about color. He's asking about major features: regular cab vs super cab, short bed vs long bed, limited options vs more options. While there is obviously some subjective opinion to be had, comparing a RCLB with a SCSB is more objective. Resale value is a big point, as is hauling & towing capacities.

Personally, I'd ignore the 1 year model year difference and ask yourself which truck you'd rather have. I'd go with the 2018 all day long, but that's because I don't like regular cab pickups.

 

 

if you ever had to get rid of the regular cab, youll probly have to pay someone to take it

 

The point still stands....it's all personal preference and a matter of opinion.


I've had no less than 10 regular cab trucks. I've had 0 problems selling/trading them. Just because YOU don't like them, doesn't mean no one does. If Ford's regular cab was bigger (like my previous 2 Dodge's), then my 2018 would have been a RCLB as well.

 

Personally, I really like a lot of the options you have on your ordered 2019....many of which I have on my 2018. What gears did you go with?

Do you have a family or kids to haul around? If not, a CC is a lot of wasted space and added length to have to deal with IMO.

 

 

While purchased a 2018 Lariat Extra Cab with 8 ft bed. Was hard to pass up over $2500 below invoice and a PCO for $3000 saving of almost $9000.00. Thanks for all the inputs

 

Looks like you split the difference

Congrats!

 

Went to the Lot on Sunday and the Boss said I like that one. So I got what I wanted and she got what she wanted. After 31 years I learned that the Boss must get her 2 cents into it
