Nice trucks guys, it seems that this config. is pretty pricey in my area, looks like I can buy a double cab with the same equipment for 2-3k less than a regular cab.... Looking at LT models at least i didn't look at LS or WT..

Here locally is rare to see a regular below MSRP, when they are its usually WT or LS models. I had to drive 4+ to find one below MSRP. 8+ hours round trip saved me about 8k

Just depends. The dealership found my truck at a dealership 2 hours away. They went and got it.   The price was 38500. I paid 29500.  Luckily that 1 truck had a huge rebate

My trucks MSRP was around 41k I believe, got it at 32k.

My wife worked at the dealership and I'd be gloating if I told what she paid (she got it for me as a Father's Day gift)

I went with the most expensive one they had in the lot. If I was going to sign away my life for 5 years it had to be the right one and I didn't want no regrets.

That's the way to do it for sure as there is more negotiating room and typically better rebates on the higher trim levels. We got lucky as there happened to be a $2,000 rebate on LS models at the time which surprisingly we still got on top of employee pricing.

I bought my rear liners there but surprisingly I found I could buy most  oem accessories online cheaper than I could get them there even after her discount!

Sad to report that I am not a member of this club right now. I say right now because if I see a 2019 or beyond that I like I will be back! Traded my Little truck and Corvette on a New Tahoe for my wife! I still have my HC though so don't feel to sorry for me! hahaha

I have had 5 short box trucks in my life since 1979 and I am sure I will have another! They get a lot of looks and are very unique trucks for sure!

Every time my wife rides with me she comments on people staring or giving thumbs up (I rarely notice because I'm concentrating on staying out of the way of all these knuckleheads I'm driving around!) and I find it is a great conversation starter as people come up to me frequently in parking lots asking questions or complimenting!

    • Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir. 
    • I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.
    • I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed. 
    • Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day. 
    • Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
