I just got my17 f350 and love the truck but the stupid little holes for the tow chains are just retarded !

uhh, pics?

So I'm looking at ordering/buying a...
KR or Platinum 2017 F350 CC LB SRW 4x4.

I test drove one, and WOW, is that turning radius HUGE. I know it's a truck, and it's not small. But the turning radius has increased by 2 FEET compared to the 2016 model of the EXACT same truck; all due to Ford pushing the axles further apart (adding wheelbase, especially pushing the rear axle so far back).

Honestly, it FEELS like I'm still driving my 2000 with Leaf Spring front suspension and the turning radius of an Aircraft Carrier.

Any rumors if this is changing in 2018?

I've got 18k miles on my 2017platinum srw crew cab w/ 8' bed and have not noticed a single difference in turning radius from my 06' in the same configuration. Thanks for putting it in my head now though, I'm probably going to hit a car while trying to park.

Just got back from Cabo. I drove down to haul my Dads 29' ugly ass fish boat back. It weighs 12K with the trailer. The '17 250 did a great job. Its defiantly not a dually though. First 4x4 I've had in 25 years! A little soft but really comfy. I really think the 4 rear tires on a dually way lessens the sidewall flex. I would not want to tow anything heavier with this 4x4.

I AGREE our dually does way better than the single , 38 gun , man handled little red .. kr ultimate pakage .. almost white knuckeled in wind

Mine is here.. 1700 miles so far...
Its a good truck all around... But going back for passenger door adjustment on thursday... I guess it wasn't right from day one...

My prior/other truck is a '14 F350 Dually.

This 250 is much quieter than the 14...
The cab is much bigger and the new dash is nice and has a much better display.
You can tell that the frame is stiffer than the prior body style..

I was actually trying to find a good leftover '16, and missed out on one because I didn't move fast enough...
I went with the '17 to have the "new model"... It was only about $5k more than a 16 leftover so I figured resale would certainly cover that...

I still have not come to grips with the aluminum body.. I don't know if I ever will... I honestly don't understand the logic on doing this on a HD pickup.... This is a huge step backward in my opinion.

I haven't towed with this truck yet...

thats a good looking truck!

Thanks
I went with 35x12.50s on 20x9 wheels... 2" BDS lift in front, 1" taller block in back with Fox shocks... I think it looks and drives better than stock.... The skinny stock tires moved around a lot more... The truck feels better with more rubber on the road...
I was going to go 4" with 37s but didn't want the truck too tall to be usable... Half of me wishes I did though...

Looking at bumpers next, and white painted grille... I don't like chrome....

Anyone looking at a Ford needs to be sure they get the tailgate step.... And you can't add it to a truck that doesn't have it as the tailgate is different...

The tires are Nitto Ridge Grapplers... 12 ply... I think they call them F rated.... They don't seem to roll over on the corners so they may do well with a big trailer... I'll have one of our MTI-V 42s behind it in the near future and left you guys know how it does with 21,000lbs on it...

21,000 pounds Tim!?!?!?

whats it made of Iron?
