Hi All, I just purchased a 2021 F350 XLT Diesel Dually. I have not bought a new truck since 1998. I have been using a 2003 Silverado 3500 Diesel Dually for about 6 years to pull my 13000+ lb. 5th Wheel RV before that I had a 2003 F250 with the 7.3 (I really liked that truck) but it's GVWR was 8800 lbs. and I was not legal pulling our current RV as I was over the GVWR by about 500 lbs. The 3500 is still fine but was limited to 15,600 lbs. pulling a 5th Wheel and we are on the verge of upgrading to a bigger badder 5th Wheel because we spend about 5 months a year on the road and need more space. So I started looking at New/Used Trucks and after looking at many trucks I decided to bite the bullet and go with a new truck. The prices on used trucks weren't all that much less then a new one and I figured with all the electronics newer vehicles have it will be better to have a Factory Warranty. I started searching locally and all of the local Ford Dealers would not come off MSRP at all so I expanded my search out further and found a Ford Volume Dealer in Chattanooga, Tn. who had a great price on a XLT with the options I was looking for and actually had a better addon package (premium vs Basic) then the one we had liked locally. Bottom line I saved over $3500 and if you compare the option packages Premium vs Basic I saved another $2000. It was well worth the trip 13 hrs. round trip.

Looking forward to reading posts on here.
