2023 Ford F350 STX 7.3L V8: What The Heck Is Ford Trying To Do? This Is The Most Insane SRW Truck!!!

[@Aggieland79]

$63k is ridiculous for an XL. So sick of these inflated prices!

But you are getting a lot more for your money that use to be Only in higher trim levels like blind spot and led bed lights and some led exterior lights and 360 camera and pre collision with automatic braking and rear sensors among other things!

Inflation is part of a country’s growth unfortunately. New trucks used to cost 32-35k with full options, but sadly that won’t ever be seen again.

[@dayneholt4149]

Fine, don't buy one.😊

[@mountainmancaraway6431]

Break it down to simple terms. In 1995 a new full size pickup averaged about $23k while the median income in the US was $35k. So a truck basically cost 61% of someone's yearly wages. Now a truck costs $63k and the median wage has only increased to $54k ,116% of someone's yearly wages. That ain't inflation, that's getting robbed. Don't worry I will never buy another new vehicle, I just can't figure out how the people that are buying them don't see how much money they are loosing.

[@byronlemay2166]

Don't be fooled by the payload number on the door sticker. I had a '21 F-350 and the payload was 4,450. I put a 3,300 pound camper on the back of it and lost 3 full inches of travel. The rear end would wallow like a pig and that was with the "camper package". I had to get custom rear leaf springs made to get those three inches back...rode like a dream after that. Bottom line...when you get payload that's near 2/3 of the door sticker...you're virtually maxed out.

[@matthewm3912]

3300lb camper wet...or dry?

[@purtnearperkins]

You want some airbags on the axle. Complete control. I’ve had them on every truck and they’re a dream.

[@johnnyBqwazy]

Good feedback, is there a preferred brand or setup for airbag assist on F350’s? I am so close to ordering one of these w/ 5th wheel prep. Thx

[@purtnearperkins]

I’ve used both Firestone and Air Lift. Happy with both. I had the firestones on a truck for 11 years before I sold it. Never a single issue. On the 5th wheel prep package I think I would have preferred to not add it to the order and get the B&W tow and stow option after the fact instead. Seems to be a better system from what I can tell.

[@criznitty]

3,300 of a payload no higher than the bed rails would still squat the same but would handle much better than a camper. Seems like something that tall would be better suited for a dually.

[@michaelprosperity3420]

Nice review. My first truck was a 83 F100 Flairside I purchased in 85 and drove it for 16yrs. My next truck was a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT that I'm still driving after 21yrs. I'm 61 and ready to make a new purchase and am seriously considering this one your showing. Gotta have leather though.
