It looks like more than an inch to me. Very level stance which doesn’t make much sense for hauling. I also think the new fogs don’t look good. Why leave the old space in the bumper.

 

Get a 450 and avoid the height loss nonsense

 

The 2020 SD Limited grill looks fairly similar to the F150's Limited

 

Isn’t the 450 already lower than the 250/350 from 19’?
I agree, this truck does look lower, but it is a 250.

 

It could be this....

 

Both SRWs (F250 and F350) have been lowered for 2020 per Ford's Body Builder Guide.

Yeah, that too looks similar to the F150's grill.

 

The height?
That is a bummer, but that’s how it’s going to be from now on I guess.

 

It just really sucks that Rams are the only trucks left that sit up the way I consider a truck should sit. The whole conforming thing just bugs me because Ford has never done that with the SD. Not sure if I speak for anyone else but I always liked sitting up higher than most other vehicles on the road.

 

I'm with you...I love the tall factory stance, and I think it's ridiculous they are lowering any of them.

 

Everything I can find from 18-20s states 81.x height. I dont think they've ever changed the 450 height.

 

GOOD on ya George!

 

Thanks Oak, hopefully not that far behind your 450 build.

 

I agree.. but not much we are going to do about it other than add a 2” lift...
We’ll know soon enough what it looks like...

 

I noticed you got the SWB, you must live in the city?? You will love this: I bought my '19 from a friend who gave me a super deal at a major Ford dealer in San Antonio. My '17 was already promised to my best friend. So they asked if I was going to trade in my '17, said no, but they said let us make you an offer.

Guy walked out, I could see him, he looked at my truck and came back in, did not drive it or even open the door! He talks to the Sales Mgr for a min and the SM comes over and tells me the Used Car folks really don't want it! WTH, WHY NOT? He said its a Long Bed, we don't sell Long Beds here. WHY? We are a city dealer, over 90% of our sales new and used are sold to someone who lives in the city limits and they don't buy long beds. With luck it was no big deal, my truck was already sold to my best friend.

I travel a lot and often my travels take me into the city where parking garages are the norm...MOST of the time my 350 KR with cab lights will not clear the board hanging down or if it does and I don't have at least a fist height between cab lights and the board I cannot park there. Some time ago here IIRC a guy with a '17 got under the board at the entrance and he thought he was good go, but a few floors up one of the concrete overheads peeled his top off along with a moon roof.

If you cannot clear that parking garage entrance sign you really got some challenges to find another parking spot, like in downtown Houston, Dallas, San Antonio...ask me how I know!

 

4x4 pickups are going the same way that suvs did. People that don’t go off road at all buy them and then complain about how tall and ruff they ride. I see people trying to drive trucks like sports cars all the time. Sucks for those of use that take our trucks off road but the lower trucks sell better. It’s starting to look like the tremor or lift kit is a must for me.
