The kicker here was that when comparing premiums of a chassis cab 450 versus chassis cab 550 all else being the same the estimated premium quoted was $400/year cheaper for the 550! The representative was unable to tell me why this is the case but we could only guess that there are lower losses associated with the 550 versus the 450.
Yes, at Dealer Invoice.

Both of the 6.7s you are thinking of, are not available in a chassis cab.
They are 6.7's, share most of the same parts, except for smaller turbo programming exhaust system.
Ford actually offers five variants of the 6.7. to get technical, they have two HO motor, And neither one of them are available for the 4/550 series.

Mine (USAA) won't insure any chassis cab directly but does insure them through Progressive (the same as they do for motorcycles).

I'm assuming when you say detuned you are referring to the 6.7 standard output as opposed to the 6.7HO correct? In my case, I'm going 7.3 and don't believe there is a difference on the higher GVWR trucks. As for speed, it was my understanding that trucks sold to a fleet account are governed to a maximum speed but that this is not the case with trucks sold to a retail buyer (guess I'll find out when my truck arrives).

What wheel base / trim did you get for overlanding?
