Dealers were taking orders I believe as early as May 2015 for 2016 so we probably know prices less than 8 or 9 months.

Pretty much guaranteed here in Canada; I looked at a 2015 Ram Megacab DRW Limited while dropping my truck off for a service appointment a few months ago and the MSRP was $95k.....

2 years into the future, wonder what the price will be........6 figures?

I'm looking forward to the larger fuel tanks in the 2017 SD trucks.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a 45 plus gallon tank in the LWB models.

Not sure if 7 cameras is enough??? If that sells trucks then guess I'm out of the target market.
I'll probably never get one now. Ben driving F series company trucks for 20 years now and my company won't buy Fords anymore due to the aluminum bodies. Heavy construction means we spend a fair amount on bodywork. Why double that cost?
All the new trucks are reliable and wil pull a house with the diesel, so just the skin alone made it a no go for a company that buys about 1500 pickups a year.
And why change the trans behind the 6.2 if not adding gears? Those are solid transmissions they work great and hold up well too.

Our work trucks are worked and look like it. They get beat up and none will ever see the inside of a body shop unless it's to make it driveable again. Construction trucks aren't even supposed to be washed between oil changes. :)

Seems silly to let an aluminum body scare you away from all of them without even trying one.

Scare me off?? Lol.
I don't buy Fords, never bought one except broke ones to fix and flip, but been driving about every model year of F series as company trucks since the mid 90s. My motto years ago became " the only good ford is a free ford." Hahaha
Maybe your outfit doesn't fix their jalopies, but the company I work for and most large companies, in my experience, keep their rigs decent looking.
Either way, no denying that cost of ownership, be it out of pocket costs or insurance premiums could be a deciding factor to buy or not.
But for the company I work for the "insurance company" is us. At least for sub $30k claims, they are a job cost. Self insured.
Plus, a lot of larger companies, construction or otherwise are leasing passenger vehicles rather than purchasing them. The lease companies will make sure they are fixed or charge a pretty(er) penny to fix them.
Not saying they suck, just saying fixing dents will cost more.

From the picture, I would say the dually fenders look better than the current SD version which is nothing but gawd aweful.

Having previously owned a 2011 F 350 dually, I thought just at a glance they had made changes to the rear fenders, but wasn't sure until I saw the comments here.

Another thing I do like. They do look better in my opinion.

Actually I quite like the current dually fenders I was thinking of converting my f250 to a dually with those fenders!
