Really? You could knock me over with a feather... Fishie would buy a Ford?!?!?! I've seen it all now...
After looking at these trucks on the lot I am truly impressed and with my current Super Duty at 4.5 years old and a tick over 100k miles and not a single repair to date why not?
I like this one....

Well you asked, so how about 600# difference in the GVW with the Ram on top.john&bet wrote:
Local dealer sells both Ram and Ford. I got books on a '17 Ford and a '16 Ram. Checked the GVW of both in 350 srw form and got a surprise. I also liked the option packages of the Ram better than Ford. Everyone's opinion may be different than mine. Still looking.
what was the surprise?- Do they come with better brakes?

RAM has redesigned HDs in 2019 and I believe GM also. As far as the new SD; Hype Cycle. Ford's pricing and the Ford dealers in my area (arrogant because their sales are strong) take the fun out of new Ford truck shopping.
I'm with others in this thread, forget the wiz-bang stuff and give me reliability. We have gotten to the point where many of these gee-wiz options have intermittent issues that dealers just can't fix. What good is the gee-wiz if it doesn't work all the time and can't be fixed.- there are still plenty of 2016 fords on the lots with great deals, I myself am not sold on the new 2017 yet. I have to tell my self after having bought a 2016 just a few months ago, I still have no regrets not having waited for a 2017.

Biggest issue with the new Super Dutys is the pricetag. Ouch. Our neighbor had a reservation on one at something like $70,000. He ended up cancelling it and bought a Ram instead.
All comparably equipped trucks from GM, Ford, and Ram will cost within a few dollars of each other. Even Nissan and Toyota will price about the same between themselves and the other 3!john&bet wrote:

My brother just pdi'd his first one, $85k cdn for 350!srw king ranch
Looked at a 250 Platinum diesel on a lot. $90k Canadian. WTF!!!!
yup and plus taxes your at $100,000 easy.
They sell all they can make so whats the problem? Those of us that can't afford them don't matter to the manufacturers or dealers.
Yet- If I were currently in the market for a new truck I would hands down purchase a new F350 after seeing them. These new '17 models are some jewels.
