    New F-350 Order Question- Planning for Bigger Tires

    it holds a set speed under 20 MPH. It does so with brakes and transmission. I believe it actually independently brakes different wheels which can't be done manually. It's a few hundred bucks- and if you don't want to use it- don't engage it. That's the conclusion I've come to.

    New F-350 Order Question- Planning for Bigger Tires

    I think the hill descent actually independently brakes each wheel. That would be hard to master. I watched a video on it- seems legit.

    New F-350 Order Question- Planning for Bigger Tires

    If I don't order the FX4 I also lose the Hill Descent Control and the skid plates- I don't see another way to order skid plates. I think the locking rear differential is independent of the FX4? Is that correct? If I pay the $500 for the FX4 for the hill assist and descent control is there a...

    2023 Ford F-350 Power Take-Off and Pro Power Onboard - 2KW

    I'm getting an 2023 F-350 to put a Scout Kenai on. Any reason to get the $280 Power Take-Off feature? Can I charge the Kenai by plugging it into the Pro Power Onboard? Worth getting? Also considering adding the factory winch. Input appreciated.

    Pricing vs MSRP on Custom Order F-350 July 2022

    I'm seeing new trucks listed for $20k OVER MSRP at dealerships. I'm seeing used trucks with 80,000 miles for selling for same price as MSRP new. If I custom order a new truck from ford- can I expect everyone to charge me over MSRP- or is this crazy pricing for people who "must have it now!"...

    3/4 ton or 1 ton platform? 250 or 350. 2500 or 3500

    Thanks, Todd. Makes sense. Not to revive the gas v diesel thing- but does it matter for the set-up listed above. I do live in a mountainous region of the country (Central Oregon.)

    3/4 ton or 1 ton platform? 250 or 350. 2500 or 3500

    I have been considering a FWC Hawk or similar. Leaning towards flat bed but feel free to talk me out of it. Is full ton the route to go or is 3/4 enough? I definitely want to be below GVWR when loaded for a week/weekend trip. Two adults/two small children. It would also be nice to be able...
