What's the base $ 83K truck on that KG with the Whipple setup ? Mostly curious with the $ 25K initial MU. That Shelby is nothing but a F150 with a bunch of bolt-ons. They had one of those in '18 when I bought my Raptor, damn thing had set on the dealer floor forever for MSRP and they couldn't move it.
Heard that for 2 years lol
When I got my F350, I was able to negotiate the service plan 8yrs / 100k for $500.
I’m going to be honest. Cars are paid for motorhome is paid for I owe about 40 on my boat. But could pay it off if needed. If possible I finance the fuck out of everything and use the banks money first
Jeezus. That's more than three times what I paid for my Excursion 6.0L Limited in 2004. I know that was ages ago, but it's still shocking.
Yeah, wasn't a fan of KG once all the good people they aquired from Dixon left. That "I'll see you here" slogan is about as douchie as it gets.Ken grody customs....
I only use the guys in fleet sales. The main sales folks are super pushy.Yeah, wasn't a fan of KG once all the good people they aquired from Dixon left. That "I'll see you here" slogan is about as douchie as it gets.
All the custom stuff the dealers watched the customers spend at other shops became their new market target.
The fleet guy I knew in the Dixon days was as good a guy you could ever hope for.
When I purchased my truck, they forgot the remove a couple pieces of paper from inside. One of those was dealer deliver date, which was written down as 10.13.2017.
. Fleet sales manager told me, they made the deal since I was the only one interested in the truck (no other dealer would take it as a trade) and they needed the sale to make their monthly and quarterly sales number 
Curious as to exactly why:
--- Stupid Fuker's
I have a wonderful customer base. The nonsense of the world and Ford drives me insane. Most of the people I speak to during the day still have a dog barking or a baby crying. I could go on for a long time. But that covers it pretty good.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some great people at Ford yet and do what they can to help. But most of them have well over 50 dealers to keep track of.
Yep, that's why outfitters like DSI got to be so big in the last 10 yearsYeah, wasn't a fan of KG once all the good people they aquired from Dixon left. That "I'll see you here" slogan is about as douchie as it gets.

Listening to that video - those are one of the groups that Farley is targeting because they're bloating the company.
I have close friend from childhood who is a cad/gmc dealer. (100+ year family business) He echos that sentiment.
Don't need massagers, and most vehicles come with damned good stock stereos these days. I don't need the lane change warning. I do need drive train upgrades like lower gears, locking diffs, high-output alternator, diesel engine. I don't need any platinum super-deluxe limited model. Just a comfortable, warm truck with a lot of towing capacity. They are still too much, especially with the self-destruct features mentioned above. Looking like close to 90 grand.
I require heated leather seats, 3/4 ton, 4x4, rear back-up camera/alarm, and remote start. I like the option to take others with us, so a crew cab is also needed.
This.The leather is what is killing you.
All that is like $60-$65k without leather.
Buy the cloth truck and spend $2k on recovering the seats with a leather kit and not have to chase old truck problems
I have all those features in my 2021. But I opted for gas. It's rated to tow 16k. Same truck diesel was 65k plus fees. Sticker was 54k with discount $47.5 plus fees.I require heated leather seats, 3/4 ton, 4x4, rear back-up camera/alarm, and remote start.

Slap two sleds and a deck on bed of a gasser in soupy slush and mud... I can assure you you'll choose the diesel. Pulling my 24+4 with a full load or a car in it, or my boat.. I don't need to take it off of cruise control...and its not going to loose really any speed on a steep grade. Ill take 400hp, and 1000 tq every time.
jk

The diesel vs gas depends on the use of the buyer and what their needs are....in my case I don't give two shits about the difference in maintenance cost or the fuel difference. I know for what I do, I have the power I need to get the job done. You don't need anything more than an F150, so I can see where you are coming from

Yea...I could see how you want to keep the $10k in your pocket since you're a fan of the interest free loan program RG offeredYea all the 7.3 guys with 4.30s are all getting stuck in the mud.
I’ll keep the $10k and push the pedal a little more, while you need diesel to keep the cruise control going
Just busting your balls.

I guess you could count that as interest earned lol, don't tell Biden's 87k IRS agents though...they'll find a way to tax it and give it to Ukraine lol
For me it was more like 17k more. If I had a toyhauler still no doubt I would of got diesel. But of the 15 trailers I own the gassers pull them fine. But have the diesel if needed. But it weighs so much with tools it doesn't pull much better its over 12k loaded closer to 13k. I don't have a class A either so new diesel power doesn't do me any good for work stuff. My trailers are de rated to 9,995. With the diesel since it's a work body it's a target for weight police. But I still pay for a 26 sticker in case I do tow with it.
by the time I sell the first one, the 2nd will be nearly free.
I wish new crate motors were that cheap, buddy of mine spun a rod bearing in a 5.3 and ended up 12k for new crate long block with labor
