Ford announces "smart" plan to lose 10% of its workforce. Anything that has to have "smart" put in its name, probably isn't.
Maybe "smart" height is why they lowered the 2020 SD?

I;m not sure about your build date info on the 2020. the next years models are usually out for sale by early Fall of the previous year. , I got mine in October of 2018 and its a 2019? Think they get a head start to help push out the previous years models and clear out the lots for the new models coming in. Anyway that's how they do it here in Texas ?

But if you read back up this thread a ways you'll see that info about November builds. fyi it wasn't from me.

As for "MAJOR power train upgrades", it isn't an upgrade to me if it is up on the service rack. Like I said, I want to USE the truck, not test it. I can't use it while it is at the dealership with the cab off.
Nor do I want to try it out for the 2-3 years of the design cycle. If I buy it, it is bought for life. Till the death of either one of us do us part. So far, it has always been the truck to die first.
This time around, the odds are in the truck's favor.

Not everyone buys a truck to resell. In fact "resale value" does not factor into my decision at all. I buy a truck to use it, not to resell it.

In fact right now I'm patiently waiting to see what Ford is going to do because the new 7.3 intrigues me. If I like what I see I'll actually be going from a 12 valve to the 7.3 gas. Diesel used to be fun and worth it. Now, to me, it is not.

That 7.3 gasser with some DynaFlows and full 2.5" dual exhausts will be music to the ears.
But my 7.3 psd with 4" full and a little tuning is paid off, and faster.
To each their own, is the beautiful thing about our Republic.
