:ROF I'm going to be doing a pretty good job of that myself. I think my wife is scared she is going to have to work the rest of her life! :Stop:
I have already built it online. It's a 2017 F350 King Ranch. Went on the site this morning and requested my PIN number for the "A" plan discount.
Here is a couple of pics from the site of exactly what I built. At least what it will look like. It will be factory prepped for a 5th wheel/ gooseneck. The heaviest tow/haul package. Duel heavy duty alternators, duel batteries. Basically set up for pulling a 5th wheel RV in comfort.
You'll love that 6.7. We just got a new one at work, 6.7 and a 6 speed auto. It's a 1 ton with a dump. What a dream to drive. Lot's of grunt when you want it and cruise along at 60-65 without breaking a sweat, even loaded. Hit a hill and the turbo boost goes up and you don't come out of overdrive unless it's a very long hill.
I test drove a Lariat F350 6.7 and fell in love with it. It limits the torque till 4th gear then it will lay you back in the seat.
I never was much of a Ford man but this one has me thinkin'!
Agreed 6.7 is nice. You've been looking in to one of these for quite some time, right? Let us know when you pull the trigger! I do like that color.
My buddy ordered his 2017 F350 back in early March. They said it would be built like April 7 or something like that, and he'd have it the 14th. He picked it up from the dealer April 11. Seems they underpromised and overdelivered. His wife and my wife took it on a short ride; she said is nice!
Yes, I've been looking and researching and decided to go with it. By the time I option a Lariat with what I want it gets into King Ranch territory because so much comes standard on them. It's a little nicer truck all around also. I want a truck that will do the work but I want it comfortable also if we are going to be spending some time in it.

Went tonight to place the order and the salesman couldn't select the tire/wheel combination and gear ratio I wanted. He' wants me to come back in the morning. He thinks Ford's computers were not working right.
When I got home I went on Ford's site and figured out what he did wrong. I couldn't get it to configure it the way I wanted till I selected 4x4 then it would let me select any combination I wanted.
Unfortunately, some of today's car salesmen don't know much about the cars and trucks they sell. If he is still having configuration problems tomorrow, have him call the sales manager over. You should not have to make a second trip to get the truck ordered.
I agree Al. Unfortunately he stayed late this evening just for me and everyone else in sales had already gone home. I'll get him straightened out tomorrow.
I thought this was going to be easy. I had the truck optioned on paper for him. It's "A" plan so no haggling over price and no financing. He just neglected to select 4X4.
We are going this evening to look at a used older travel trailer with one slide out. We know the couple that own it and they bought it new. They just bought a new Ford dually and a new 5th wheel and are going into it full time. The price is right on this and it will get us into something till we get what we want.
Larry, when you get the VIN you may be able to follow the build here. I haven't tried it personally but I found a similar site when my Jeep was being built.
Bought an older one owner travel trailer tonight. We know the owners so we know what we're getting.
This will get us on the road this year till we get what we want.
That's why we jumped on this. This is a 1994 one owner. It has been maliciously maintained. He pulled it to Arizona at the end of last summer and he replaced the spring hangers, shackles, bushings and hardware and four new tires before they went. He pulled this with a full size Chevy conversion van that he bought new 27 years ago. It still looks like new, has about 100,000 miles on it. They just took delivery on a new F350 dually diesel and pick up their new 41 ft 5th wheel next week. They are retiring and hitting the road almost full time.
My wife is going to work one more school year so this will get us through this summer then we hope to get our 5th wheel when she retires next spring.
Hopefully no more surgeries to get in the way.
