You could also shop around. I have a ‘21 701a platinum on the way and expect to pay <$62k after incentives and the crystal clear, aggressive pricing from Granger Ford in Iowa.
My build has the following:
work surface
Max tow
Moonroof
BO Unleashed (701a)
Spray in bedliner
Curious what others are seeing in the VIN tracker. My dealer tells me 3/2 build date but I’m not seeing a firm date in the VIN tracker. Is that to be expected?
My truck is scheduled to be built March 2 according to my salesman. VIN tracker still has not assigned a date. Fingers crossed. Platinum, 4x4, 5.5 foot bed, EB, carbonized grey over carmelo, max tow, moon-roof and max tow...
Have an ecoboost in my ‘13 and ordered it again for my ‘21. I want the low end torque for towing, plain and simple. If I weren’t towing as much, I’d probably opt for the v8. MPG is probably exactly the same, despite Fords claims.
I agree with the comments that less complexity means fewer items...
Glad to hear you are happy with it. It looks a lot like my current white platinum that is leveled. The previous owner did it to mine and I was convinced that contributed to what I felt was an overly harsh ride. My few test drives in the 2021 I was blown away by the difference in compliance and...
Hey guys, Lawson from Dallas. I have a 2013 F-150 Platinum, EB 4x4 that has served me well. I bought it used with 45k on it in 2016. Now it has 114k miles on it. I started shopping for an HD truck for a better towing experience (tow probably ~5k miles per year depending on race schedule with a...
Congrats! I ordered a '21 platinum a week and a half ago. I was very tempted to go with a KR, as I like the two tone exterior quite a bit. I couldn't get over the fact that all surfaces on the interior are brown, and I like brown. Might go check out a local one this weekend and see what it looks...
I have no experience with these shocks. If for 95% road use, I see no reason why the fox shocks shouldn’t go for a long time without needing a rebuild. Any shock, if used for off road frequently might start leaking at a seal and need a service. If typical road use, I really don’t see that...
Well I guess I need to determine if the stronger axle (with no resulting GVWR increase), the rear bumper (how is it upgraded?), the third leaf spring and the rear sway bar are worth the $900. I would think in the real world when towing, yes. But, that is at the cost of my payload.
So if max tow doesn’t guarantee the beefier axle, I’m having a really hard time leaving it on my order. I can get the 3.55 and larger fuel tank for $900 less on a platinum build. What am I missing?
I was going to buy a 250, but they are just huge. I wouldn't be able to park in my spot at work because it is too tall. Length is an issue for me as well.
I would probably consider the powerboost if it fit within my payload needs.
