Kinda glanced through this and saw some comments on the aluminum and the tool box commercial, when we got the new 17's in stock one of the first things i did was hop in the box and knock on the floor, it really is A LOT thicker than the f150. The new cab is a huge upgrade to the old body style, 4 inches longer and a bit wider it has tones of room. The chassis upgrades also look impressive the frame and whole undercarriage structure is stronger than the outgoing models.

I saw a Platinum super duty today at a red light.

Pretty impressive looking.

I talked to a salesman, and there are models that will break $100,000..

Ouch.

What? That kind of price is almost getting into super car price range! Looks like I will be drive my old diesel for ever lol

my bad Shelby not raptor... Out of my league anyways so I did not really pursue

Pretty soon all these truck are going to be out of everyone's league! I can't remember hearing that the 1998 dodge diesels were $38000 new when my dad was looking at one. I thought that it was a crazy price for a truck, now it don't look to bad lol

As a body tech who has worked on the new f150's, I can say aluminum, or really anything held together with spr's, or anything made of an alloy blend that anneals at a lower temp than it welds has no business on a work truck. Leave that technology in the Audi R8's and Jaguars. Work trucks need to be focused on longevity and repairability. I have already had to re attach box sides that are falling off the f150's. They are ****e. Just grocery getters with a box. The platinum makes a nice supervisors truck tho I suppose lol.

Hopefull Ford will do a better job of a diesel powered half ton than dodge did. Haven't heard much good about them other than they make good grocery getters.
