they arent doing autumn red in 2014, only ruby red metallic. Might be a deal breaker

wait til the 14's are released and wat for a dealer to hand over all the holdback just to get the truck off the lot. just an FYI , i waited til jan of 09' to buy my green 08' , sticker was 52,900 , i bought it for 34, 500. once model years are left behind the price gets insane.

Agreed. I bought my 2010 that way. Huge rebate off sticker and 0% interest. Plus they gave me more than they should've for the 08' I traded in. I got out of an 08' extra cab with 97,000 miles on it and into a brand new crew cab for less $8,000. Not to mention the savings in interest.

tough thing is that he will never find one he likes though. he's too picky

I'll run that idea by him though, definitely wouldn't mind saving money and it looks like he won't be getting exactly what he wants anyways. Looking like $65k OTD for a 2014 450 ruby red loaded with adobe and lariat ultimate. A lot of money to pay for something that isn't exactly what you want

Same thing here. Dealers wanna get rid of the leftovers before no one wants them.

I ordered a 2014 cclb 4x4 platnum fx4 and got a otd price of 60,437.24.

The 13 platinum I just bought was OTD at 57,895. They wanted 69k! I laughed and walked out the door. He called me 2 min down the road and told me to come back.

^^^ truth!

Got my 11 in march of 12 for almost $19k off sticker and that was with dealer after market package (similar to regency package).

Wheels turned out to be **** but that's getting handled.

or dont buy a 6.7 and get a 6.4 that someone has alread sank a mint into and smoke a new truck hahahah sorry i couldnt help it, but seriously i agree if you can find a left over youll save a bunch(probably enough to get it custom painted whatever red he wants)

O2ShootTheJ · Jun 26, 2013

yea I guess we will see what we can find. He sold his 7.3 on Saturday so right now he doesn't really have anything to pull with other than a f150 with 500,000 miles on it haha. So waiting might not be an option.

He doesn't care about having a fast truck, thats what the cars it will be pulling around are for. Plus the interior in the 6.7 is so nice

oneturboforme · Jun 26, 2013

his last truck was a stick right? does he want a stick or auto this time?

O2ShootTheJ · Jun 26, 2013

yea it was stick but he wants a auto this time. Hes getting older now he doesn't wanna deal with a lift, loud tires, or any of that stuff any more. Just wants a nice truck with a plush interior that he can get in and go

oneturboforme · Jun 26, 2013

doesnt get anymore plush both ride and inside than a 6.7

O2ShootTheJ · Jun 26, 2013

definitely agree with you there

agreed, only reason i have one, cuz even the deleted power feels a good bit weak to me. not sure if its the 3:31's causing it, but my 6.4 with tune only and 3:55's would absolutely mop this thing up. that will change very soon though !!

O2ShootTheJ · Jun 28, 2013

yea. I told myself I was just gonna buy a 7.3 and keep it stock other than tuner/intake/exhaust. Now i'm looking at 500hp 6.0s :doh:

It's not the 3.31's these trucks just don't have the power like the 6.4 can produce so easy.

Thats a great price. I paid a little over $50k for my '13 F350 CC/LB Lariat Ultimate which I thought was a good deal also. Great truck, I'm loving it!
