F-450 KR Ordered
Just ordered my fifth KR since '04. I'm trading in my '15 F-450, best truck I've ever owned. Pretty much fully loaded except for the chrome package. I've had that on every other truck but really for the money you don't get much. I'll have the bed liner sprayed in locally. Should be here in November.

I think you'll be very happy with the new truck. Much more solid and the long-bed post-bump jiggle is gone starting in 2017.

For some reason the 450's are kind of rare in my neck of the woods. Lots of DRW's but most are 350's. Looking forward to seeing some pics when you get it delivered!

F-450's are rare here also. This will be my fourth since '08. Seriously considered waiting till next summer but my '15's value will keep going down and the interest rates and the cost of the new trucks will keep going up. I usually trade every four years. The new truck will be painted like my '15, Ruby Red over tan two tone.

As of October 1 the order had been "Sent to Plant". I checked today and the truck was "In Production".

I'm super jealous. I ordered a F-450 Lariat in early July and it still isn't here. Anytime in the next week or so, though.
