looking for Dually short bed
Hi there
Would anybody know if any Ford dealer can look for trucks nation wide or only statewide.
I would be very interested in a new (or almost new) 08-09
F350 CC (diesel (duh)).
Looking for Lariat or something else loaded.
Prefer 3.73 (6 speed?)
thought I would ask here first to minimize my visits to any dealer

I don't know why Ford only builds them "one way". I live in an equestrian neighborhood and there is a white 2007 running around that I see all the time. My dealer had a black 2008 a couple of months ago. It looked really nice. I think they are horse people trucks built to tow 5th wheel horse trailers and are more maneuverable.

I can not remember the exact reason off hand, but Ford has only been offering short bed DRW's in black or white for years now. I am sure it has something to do with cost savings on Ford's part. It was the same way back when I ordered my '00...
FYI... There are no short bed DRW's for '09. '08 short bed DRW's could be had in XL, XLT or Lariat trim for sure and possibly FX4. I also see nothing stating that 4.10's were standard on short bed DRW's, so a 6 speed 3.73 is possible if you can find one...
Dealers should be able to search nationwide, but they usually limit their searches to 200-300 miles...

Thanks for the answers.
I was hoping I could order one for 09 but looks like that is not gonna happen anymore.
I will drive by a few dealers and see if they want to take their time and look around for one.

Simmons Rockwell Ford in Hornell, NY had a earlier this week. I believe it was a 08 white lariat crewcab.

This one is black and in Michigan, but shows that you can get it with a 3.73 and Lariat trim. It's at russmilneford.com Window Sticker - 2008 Ford F-SERIES SD F350 4X4 CREW/C at Russ Milne Ford - Your Macomb MI Ford dealer

You are correct and Ford has officially dropped the DRW SB for '09. I agree though that a DRW SB Wide Track would be a great tow rig...

Thanks again for the reply's.
The white one is indeed nice but I really do not want the tow boss package.
To much highway driving and it will run to many RPM's for me.
Asked my local dealer and he found 2 but both are black
florida + black = not cool
anywho, I will keep looking and maybe go for black if needed.

Get a F350 SRW just the way yo want it. then swap out the rear axle to a DRW, add fenders and front hubs/wheels. its as easy as that...... yikes....
Actually it has been crossing my mind lately for towing a Fiver.
