New Ford F-250 Lariat

Price out a 350 XLT, then add in what factory options you'd like. At same time, call your local aftermarket joints for pricing on same items. Yes easier to get it from factory, but can save coo-coo bucks if not for same thing. We did. Ditch the tube steps and power running boards and just go w/ full length diamond pate running boards. Much safer and more truck protection. I'm not personally a fan of a lot of today's new technology. Yes it may be great, but when a component goes down, big bucks to get fixed. Am content w/ just the factory blind spots on mirrors and tailgate b/u cam. Good 'nuff for me. I just went through all this 2 months ago, so am quite familiar w/ what your saying.
