Contemplating the 2017 Platinum F350

I am thinking the difference would be about $16k. I'll know more in a few days.

Very Little. $5K tops.
There will always be a latest greatest.
Ford and/or the banks will be the real beneficiaries of the deal.
The difference in the trucks is too minimal for me to justify the expense.

Minimal difference? The frame, cab, bed, interior and exterior is all new. Has been a new frame in 20 years on the Super Duty. It's a big deal.

OP if you get a good price for you 2016 and can get 10k off the 2017 then do it. Just make sure to negotiate the price of your 2016 separately or they'll try and fudge the numbers on the other.

Do it man. First new HD truck from FoMoCo in almost 20 years.
I love the look of the duallies.

Please buy a 3500 mega cab black sport appearance Cummins next year and I’ll give you $15k less. I can’t find em near that cheap.

There are a LOT of people that are willing to trade every year or every other year. I used to do that, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me now.

With as many posts as I have seen you make lamenting the high cost of new vehicles, and that people are constantly over extending themselves, I am kind of surprised you would be considering an upgrade so soon.

It's your money, do what you want with it. If that means a new truck, go for it. I am sure the '17's are nicer than the '16's.

I have nothing to add other than I really like my 17 and the platform as a whole feels like a major upgrade from my 13.

I trade every year, and it seems to cost me around 15000.00.
