Shopping for a new truck is hard

I sold my 2022 f450 last month and I’ve been looking for a new/used one. Prices are ridiculous in my opinion. But I think I found a winner. It’s a 2023. Massaging seats were deleted I guess due to issues getting chips? Idk. We use them on long drives. But the truck did check off the other boxes. Best part is k can afford this one and it’s a private party sale by a friend. 60k miles. Higher than I wanted but beggars can’t be choosers.

I have a 23 Platinum with no massaging seats. Yeah Ford gave me a $300 credit for the massaging delete. And I kinda wish I had them on long trips,
But other than that, I 78,000 miles and it's been a great truck.

You will notice the Diesel Measurement screen disappear if you set a destination in any Nav program, Ford Nave, Apple Maps or Google. But it still works with WAZE.
Ford is telling me they have fix coming end of the summer. I'll be almost 100,000 miles before they have a fix.

I am not even sure what that screen does. Is it useful ?

I have a '23 F350 King Ranch with 6K miles for sale, but it will cost nearly as much as a new one. My dealer offered 85K for a trade in.

Massaging seats

The massaging seats in my Platinum were great. At least for the 5000 miles until they both broke.
Dealer had no idea what was involved in fixing them as they had never taken one apart. No thanks. I do not want the guy that was replacing a transmission yesterday, tearing apart my leather seats today.
