2016 F450 Setup

I think tweetys.com and etrailer.com are two of the best places. You might give Torklift a call to make sure the 2016 still fits.

I'm sure someone else will chime in as well, but have you considered a roadtrip up North? :)

I'm heading that direction tomorrow but I wasn't sure if that would work. They made me a good deal on my Ram because they had not done a 14 at the time so they used my truck to make the new brackets. I'm thinking that has already been done with the 15 however.

Use etrailers.com to get the part numbers and use those part numbers on amazon.com

I am SOOO jealous. I almost got a 2015 that was for sale used here locally. I also find that ETrailers has the best price for stuff like that.

I sent you a PM.

You should have grabbed that 15 up as quick as you could for that price. These SOBs are freaking expensive.

So far Tweetys has the best prices. Amazon doesn't have the Magnum hitch.

Of course we won't believe the "new truck" story without pics!!!

I recently bought a 48" Super Truss and Tweetys had the best price at that time.

8 to 10 weeks from yesterday until the truck is here. Should be worth it though. I can't wait to hook the truck and camper together with the horse trailer.

Hey Guys,
I just ordered an F450 and I need to start thinking about the Superhitch and Torklift frame mounts. Where is the best place to buy these? I also plan on installing a set of the Upper Stable Loads and my wireless air compressor and air bags. I'll use the air compressor that is currently on my Ram.

From Ram to the darkside....enjoy your new truck when it arrives!

Not to be a killjoy but either on this forum or expedition portal in the last week was a post indicating that Dana was backed up on axle production which was affecting negatively the build times for the F450 and F550. Suggest keeping after your dealer re the factory build schedule. If I run across the post again I will post a link.

Found it. It was in a thread re building an F550 Surf Camper over in the "Other Custom Expedition Camper" section. Here is the link: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/141578-F550-Surf-Camper-Build-Adrift-in-the-Green-Room?p=1970128#post1970128

Owner took delivery of his 2016 V10 gas F550 a week ago after a 19 week wait and posted the info re the Dana factory being at capacity for the 110 and 135 axles. He reported that new truck orders for the 450/550 class are over 20 weeks out now.

Hopefully Dana will catch up with the demand and the waits will shorten. Having ordered trucks myself, I totally understand the frustration that the wait causes. You put your money down and commit too the order. You want it NOW!

Noodling over an F550 4x4 diesel crew cab with a custom flatbed myself to carry my Northern Lite 10-2 CD SE due to a need for a 3 foot garage between the cab and the TC so I am following your thread with interest. Currently on an F350 4x4 diesel DRW crew.
