(although i like that because my kids play on the truck sometimes and I've always worried they would drop it on their head and knock themselves out). Love the LED lighting in the bed for when you are getting something out at night. Nuts the stuff that's on this thing.....

If anyone wants a 2009 F350 6.4 CC LWB Dually XLT with 97k miles that has towed about 9 miles a year let me know.
Congrats! What color did you get? SRW F350 or DRW?

Haha - thanks Dave, I am decadent - that's why I wasn't man enough for your tiger!!! Massaging seats really seems quite frivolous and gimmicky, but maybe that will be the selling point for the next owner.

Jupiter - I caved and went black SRW, mainly for corporate image reasons. I feel like a Puss.....

Ford Passconnect is neat too because it does a countdown when you remote start and you can add time if you need to.

Just recently retired my old 2001 F-350 from full time use to part time service and still going strong. I wanted a new ride with all the new creature comforts and spent six moths driving them all and went back to a Ford F-350 King Ranch with all the options. This truck rides exceptionally well loaded or empty and very quiet on the inside at 80+ mph on the interstate. Especially compared to my 2001 model. LOL

I'm so used to it now I don't notice until someone else is riding with me and says, "WTF is that noise?". Never again.

Try using some dielectric silicone on the tracks and moving parts. Many folks use this in the Corvette community to help with targa top squeaks.
