That truck has every option available including ugly wheels, ugly grill, and light colored interior thats good if you are actually using the truck for anything besides work.

All joking aside I like they do that because it makes them a little rarer as the 4k upcharge over the platinum isnt much.

Before I ordered mine I had created a spreadsheet of must haves, wants and won’t accept. Ultimate (led), 8’bed and power steps among the top and NO moonroof. I spent 3 evenings searching dealerships from SAn Francisco to Tennessee.
A few came close but I ended up ordering...
I think I paid $1k over invoice. Truck was here in 8 weeks.

Autotrader is great then narrow down your search in the advanced search settings , trim level , interior, fuel type , 4x4, etc.... then just email or call dealers and find best price

NIce, thanks.
That one is spot on. Says Marsala but pics are black, must be stock photos. Amazing they have had it so long and not price adjusted.
Anyone know if Snow plow prep makes the ride harsh if you dont have the plow on?

F350/450 CC LB DRW
Plati Ruby Red
4X4 Ultimate
Supplemental heat (hard to find)
5th wheel hitch setup
After you build it on the Ford website open a chat window and they can do a nation wide search for you.

My 2012 SRW 350 has the snow plow prep on it and it was a noticeably stiffer ride. Springs can be swapped out for cheap though.

Why not just order exactly what you want? Give Koons a call, they cant be more than a 7 hour drive from you or a very short flight.

I could, and use XPlan. But the prices at some of these dealers, without doing a thing, are cheaper then I can get XPlan here. I"m amazed. How does that happen? That San Marcos Ford dealer has a similar deal to the one I found near Dallas. I guess DRW is also way more popular there.

I'd think you'd be hard pressed to beat Koons of Baltimore's price on a special order. They were awesome for me.
