BTW the wheels on the truck on the left have plastic covers on them, almost like a hubcaps.

Both are nice trucks. I like the one on the right better because of the wheels and console.

Does the truck on the right have a leveling kit? It looks like it sits high in the front for a stock truck. The 302a package was hard to find with a console. I'm not sure if it still is. I guess it comes with leather or is optional with cloth.

To my knowledge both are pictures of stock vehicles on the lot. I tend to agree with the 20" wheels looking better. Think the leather will serve well down the road as it has so far.

Maybe it is just the way it is sitting that makes it look like that.

I don't think you'll be very happy with LT tires on a 20" wheel. They are basically like having solid wheels, very hard on the kidneys.

Lol, I was going to tell him to see how both trucks ride. I know a guy that has an 06 with 20's. It rode awful. I put a lift on it and and with the larger tires it rides so much better.

Good point. May try to swing by local lot and try both to see if ride is much different. A salesman about 30 miles away is proving to be the most helpful in finding what I need.

I ordered mine myself. Your LT tires are NOT stock without max payload and yours doesn't have max payload with 5.5 bed. The big mirrors only come with the max tow in the US but can be ordered and installed after build.

I ordered This truck for my father in 2011 the way I wanted. I told them what I wanted and this is what I got, exactly what I ordered. Hats of to my small town dealer who gets it. 75% of the trucks on their lot is equipped properly in my eyes. LT tires, big mirrors, brake controller, ect.

My point was that the dealer would have installed the LT tires. Not factory. My dealer is terrible but I knew the salesman so I had to go there. My truck came just how I ordered it as well about 50 days from when I placed my order. As long as the dealer types it in correctly, it should arrive as ordered. I typically order my trucks but will sometimes find a good deal on stock items for family vehicles.

We haven't gotten to a bottom dollar price, but one salesman told me they were going $9500 off the sticker. This is the sticker on the one with pictures I attached earlier. You mean all F150 drivers don't tip the scales at 150 lbs???:laughing:

deere5105, there must be something wrong here. I paid $32K X .90 Canada-U.S. exchange rate = $28,800 U.S. for a very similar truck, but even with your dealer's $9500 discount you would still pay $46,635 - $9500 = over $37,000, almost $8,000 more than I paid way back in October 2014 (when the 2015's were not even out yet). And my truck was made in Kansas! Am I missing something here?:confused3:
