Anyone lower a '17 DRW yet?

It's likely optional but my trailer would kill that front box.

Fairly certain that's extra clatter fluid, and optional. I do agree that it's an expensive proposing to swap beds to have a functional truck. Question...how are you planning to even hook your trailer up to the truck if it would destroy the tank in that pic? It'd be below the bedrails in a bed.

It's not the hookup that is the problem, its the sharp turns. Now that I've been looking at the tank on that one a little longer, it is pretty low so would likely get by. Still trying to do this without swapping beds out, I use the truck for more than just the trailer and would prefer to keep the pickup style bed for use.

You should post a pic of this trailer. I can't figure out how it's an issue and why they would design the trailer that way.

I figured it was the turns, and I agree with...fvck I can't believe I'm about to say this...Berm, a pic would be great. As I tried to say previously, I agree with you on keeping the bed. However, every person I know that has swapped to a flatbed absolutely loves them. I sincerely hope you can find a solution to your dilemma.

Unreal these days... I think we could have bought some Lambo's / McLaren's / whatever floats your boat if these new trucks weren't ~100k! 997 Turbo S was on my list, it was actually cheaper than my new truck, but got forced into replacement unfortunately.

A freightliner SPORTCHASSIS would work geat,for your trailer.

I agree with the sport chassis. Not sure why you are being forced to replace your Ford, but the heavier duty freightliner will deal much better with the load and probably last 5X the miles for any major repairs. More cost up front, maybe less over the course of 500k miles

You do enclosed car hauling?? I used to at one point, buncha wxotics, cvo harley'sc etc...fun times.

Sportchassis in 4x4 is like finding a unicorn, trust me I've been looking. Even aftermarket conversions on Sportchassis are not ideal, they raise the truck 6-8in to fit the running gear, the only kit that doesn't disengages at 15mph, useless for what I do. They are also the same price as a new '17 F450 up here so I went with the 450 since I need a pick up and 4x4 still. If I was in Florida/South Cali or didn't work in the winter, I would have had a Sportchassis already, but up here on my route I use 4x4 all the time and still need a truck for truck things. I do actually have a line on an 06 Sportchassis 2WD with Snow Chains, barely been used only has 40k on it, not actively for sale so don't have to worry about it being sold while I am working, I am try and get it for spring and run that truck in the nice weather over summer but we will see how this ordeal sorts itself out.

That I do, mostly exotics/luxury/sports for me, no bikes. It's a decent gig, good people, no social or personal life always on the road and not nearly as much fun as people think, we move the cars 100ft it's not like I get to enjoy them

Forced as in my last '16 did the job great, 260k on it in just over a year, but she no longer exists due to the roads and weather this season. Was hoping to keep it forever but now I have to replace it.

Picked it up yesterday finally, ended up in a 450 as I wanted, supposed to sit a little lower than an F350 so I will test the trailer out soon and hopefully not have to make too many changes.
