New member on here. Been browsing on here for a few weeks and found a lot info which helped finalize our order today.

Our 19 F250 6.7 recently gave her life to let everyone walk away uninjured after an accident on a freeway with our 15th month old in the backseat. Simply amazed and thankful how this aluminum works.

Now that we’ve been in a 20 expedition rental for the last few weeks, we knew it was a good time for a change. Only tow a few times a year local and below capacity so the truck was somewhat underutilizied and as a daily kind of a burden in busy Orange County. Can‘t say I’ll miss the worry about fuel contamination either. And now the wife will drive too since the expedition can actually make a u-turn and fit in a normal parking space. Still will miss that truck though.

Fortunautely we bought that truck before all the chip shortages and massive spike in hd truck pricing so we are able to move into this impressive new beast.

Ordered a Platinum Max in forged green with towing, control trac, couple other things.
said start stop couldnt be removed anymore, will have to deal with that later.
Never used the engine block heater in the diesel so didn’t order on this one.

My 4yr old and I installed a ton of things in the truck that I was able to pull out. Will be adding things to this over time and will make some posts when they are done. Air compressor, Baja designs lighting, running board lights, switch pro controller, ham radio, horn, etc. Only found a few threads around some of these so will be making new.

Looks like a lot of stuff carrys over from the f150, superduty, expeditions. I have a few custom brackets for things that should fit like builtright center console panels, sdhq light mounts etc.

Looking forward to this next chapter and sharing ideas on here.

My dealer worked with me, accepts plan pricing and even helped me with some quotes on the totaled truck to work with the insurance companies. Plan pricing would have applied if we ordered a f350 too. Welcomes referrals and places orders that seem to have a great priority number. Could be the trim i ordered but not sure what Ford’s plan is to make these. Either way, we are happy and it was super easy and convenient.

Can’t wait.

How fast and what did you hit to total an F250?
Side impact on drivers door and fendear they said the firewall shifted 5mm and could lead to structural issues And other unknown damage to keep going. Side air bags did deploy as well. Damage was well under 50% but I think with the high salvage values they didn‘t want to mess with it.
was around 60 mph or so.
Just hit the wrong spot.

Do you know when your new one is coming? I can't find a good answer on what the forged green looks like in real life!

No update on mine yet for a build date. There are a few explorers out there in forged green to give you an idea. Looks great in our opinion.
Can’t wait!

What does "plan pricing" mean ? How much below MSRP is that ?
Plan pricing is a,d,x plan. Employees, friends of employees, dealer employees, some companies have fleet plans that get x plan, or if you are a stock holder. I am a stock holder and my company has a fleet plan. X plan saved me about 4K under sticker.
