When I ordered my 1999.5 Ford F-350 (in Jan.'99) I had two engine upgrade options:
1) V-10=$285
2) PS diesel=$4,000

Three months later it was delivered.

My invoice total cost was $29,500 (rounded).


I plan to do the same thing with a 2026 F-600.

Ordering a truck between now and the next 3+ years? NO WAY!
