Nice truck. I really like the color.

I have bought 7 new vehicles in the last 4 years and I negotiate hard. You got a fair deal.

Ya, I really like the color also.
Wow, that's a lot of new vehicles!

Hey Luke, on another thread here there was a comment about the choice of "Auto" 4x4 or "Manual" 4x4. Switch on the dash or stick in the floor?? Are you given a choice if ordering a new Super Duty?? Thanks.

At this point you'd order a 2017 and so I don't know. I THINK you can onlt get a motorized transfer case.

What I have is ESOF with hubs that can either be auto locking or they can be manually locked if the auto lock system fails.

I just don't know about a manual shift transfer case.

I need some good advice on seat covers and building a Headache rack. I was thinking about asking here but then it occurred to me there might be a forum like TBN but geared toward trucks or Fords.

TBN is the only forum/online community I've ever participated in.

Is there a good 'truck' forum out there?

you could try FTE ford-trucks.com

carcoverplanet.com for seat covers

How is the F-350 doing Luke? My Father agreed to trade in his '09 F350 4:10 6.8L V10 CCSB on a '16 F250 6.2L 3:73 SCSB XLT today. Is there anything you dont like about it?

I would seriously reconsider the 3.73 gears.

It's a F250...
Very happy with it but I'm still in the "I can't believe I have a new truck" phase. Have not done any serious towing yet. Seats aren't super comfortable yet but I think it will break in. Would really like a rear camera for bumper pull hookups.

You would think a camera would be standard equipment on a serious towing rig ! Not bashing , nice rig .

As far as what you can order on a new SD, the XL and XLT come standard with manual, but above that is all ESOF. ESOF is optional on XLT.

Congrats to Luke on the new ride!
