I ordered my 2011 last year on Black Friday and I picked it up on Dec 23rd. Order exactly what you want, you will never regret it.

My '12 F-450 has only 800 miles on it and so far it is getting around 3 mpg better mileage than my '08 F-450.

Thats what i did this evening, now the wait begins. Changed my mind on color at the last minute. I saw a King Ranch with tri-color white metalic and adobe accent and chose it over my previous choice....pale adobe. Didnt get a king ranch model but i did like that color scheme.

Can't wait to see the pics. All the trucks I have ordered though Ford always came in a week or two earlier than expected.

Did you end up with a F-250 or a SRW F-350 like I recommended? What motor, 4x4 or 2 wheel, what gear ratio, what GVWR?

Most important option is the brake controller. I hope you got it. Its a bargain when you look how it works, how smooth it is, and how nice its integrated in to the truck.

So far I'm satisfied with my '12 F-450. Shop foreman at the dealership I use says they have had very few problems with the 6.7 diesel. He said they have had some problems with the version that is installed in the chassis cabs but the pickup version has been pretty much problem free.

If you can find an '11 F-250 like you want, I'd recommend buying it. Hardly if any difference in the '12's and you might just as well get as many rebates and low interest financing as possible.

That is one good looking rig......

Why did you decide on a F-250 versus a F-350 SRW? A ton more payload for $600 seems like a no brainier to me.

Did you get the brake controller? If not add it asap. Its only $165 last I checked and well worth the money. You could spend $1000 on a aftermarket one that will not hold a candle to it.

I totally agree with this statement. I have the built in one in my 2011 Silverado and it works flawless. VERY much worth the extra couple hundred dollars....

Yes i did get the integrated brake controller.

For my needs I don't see needing the extra capacity of the F-350 SRW.
