Are you set on a diesel? The F150 Max Payload 3.5L is probably the package closest in specs to the Titan XD, including similar levels of torque.. They are hard to find, but any dealer with a fleet department should be able to find and/or order one, and probably give you fleet pricing at the same time. And then you won't have to worry about your winter drive cycle.
Not set on a diesel at all.
I've looked at the F150s, and my local dealer did a search and found ONLY 2 in the whole upper Midwest. I am thinking about it, just not the color and options I'd be looking for.
South paw,
Our truck in sig wasn't what we really wanted either as it's white and a XLT (last truck was also a XLT and had a couple diff features as does current ride), both off the lot purchases. Truck we wanted was 600 miles away and that dealer was offering diddly for ours sight unseen despite pics we sent. Needless to say, we've made are bed and are sleeping in it and to be honest, after having it for a year, it DOES get a lot of attention and compliments. It does what we want it to do, added aftermarket items to it so it really isn't a bad truck afterall. So don't discount what is out there if it has the MAIN items/features you are seeking. When we were looking, like yourself, wanted "X" things. Problem was, duallies seemed to hard to find with the "X" items unless it was a fully loaded one which we didn't want. As it came down to the 2 trucks (1 being a Lariat and a XLT), both had the features we wanted obviously the Lariat had more, but the XLT had what I would have ordered anyways. In the end, while the XLT surely isn't a Lariat, we are happy with it and does the job.
