So with the Platinum Plus, they mushed some stuff in from the Limited (wheels, fancier seat covers) and then added back in a bunch of stuff they took away from the 2024 Platinum. Good lord. So glad I got my 24 Platinum. I'm honestly kind of in shock at how much trim-standard stuff they removed, and the price went UP by a grand!

Ford is invisibly removing value from the Super Duty by reducing standard equipment in favor of more optional equipment for an additional price. To make matters worse, they took away Lariat's leather and replaced it with Active X. Also removing the tailgate camera is unthinkable. Disappointing. Still not as disappointing as the 2025 Ram HD though.

Just to clarify, they removed that tailgate down camera on King Ranch and Platinum. They did not remove the rear view camera on the outside of the tailgate.

@@longmcarthurford Doesn't matter...guess I better go get a 2024. I was waiting on the 2025, but having that tailgate down camera believe it or not was one of the things that sold me on the SuperDuty. Sounds like Ford is running off their customers.

Im so happy that ford is pricing most out of the Lariat. Well, really, pricing most out of the superduty all together. So proud of ford. All the big 3 need to fail with no bailout.

SOOOOO glad I got my 2024 F450 Plat built sitting at KY right now. Absolutely disgusting what Ford is doing to cut costs by slashing quality/features. I'm glad there are more BAP parts that are going to be available in case I go that route and paint matched parts for mine being Antimatter Blue. I am curious to see what the blue interior of the Platinum

I really miss the chrome. On the 2024 King Ranch a chrome package is available and if they had a chrome package for the Platinum I would order it. Make My Bumper Chrome. Caterpillar, Freightliner and Kia are coming out with pickup trucks. So far all the information I have is they will be 1/2 ton trucks. If they are a success I'm sure they will follow up with 3/4 and 1-Ton trucks. I've seen some photos of the Catapiller trucks and they are very good looking trucks not cheap though but heavily opitioned with off road equipment and upgraded engines.

Yeah that's actually really messed up. Not so much that they removed them because I know a lot of people said they don't really help all that much (I like em!) but to 1) not have them as an option to add back and 2) of course not reduce the price of the truck are the pain points.
@briancurrie51502 ай бұрын
@@SliderFury1 Though I agree to remove them and not reduce the price of the truck for that, and not even have it as an option is messed up, I think just removing them is messed up. First, I like them a lot and find them very useful, but who wouldn't want to see all possible angles? What if a small child or an animal, a pet, wandered back there while you were backing up? We know that happens too easily and too fast and I am not going to accept that the driver would magically see them through some other means.

The King Ranch has a sweet earth tone interior. The keyless entry pad has never been available on a GMC and they’re leaving it off because of Ford Pass app. You can unlock it from your phone without being next to the truck to punch in a code

7:58 Just like my comment about chrome plating, leather is now considered an environmental hazard to create thanks to the chemicals. It is also heavy and to meet CAFE requirements, they are inventing lighter materials. This trend is industry-wide, not just with Ford Super Duty. I don’t agree with this concept, but it’s true. Of course, just like with other automotive equipment, the aftermarket can step in and reupholster your seats in real leather with companies such as KATZKIN.

5:33 The real reason for cutting back on chrome is because it is considered an environmental hazard to create. I don’t agree with this, but this trend started with European car makers and is now slowly spreading to the American market.

Is #Ford destroying the SuperDuty on purpose ? All I'm seeing is eliminating leather on Lariat, eliminating security keypad, eliminating, eliminating, eliminating. What is Ford doing? The 2023 redesign looks terrible & the addition on the #GM bed and bumper steps has ruined the body lines on the SRW. And I don't want to hear about the steps are for the working man. The SuperDuty has been the best selling truck for decades without these foolish looking steps. Looks like Ford is simply maximizing profit : less truck ; more money. More plastic, less metal/aluminum. #Disappointing #Novalue

Word is Caterpillar and John Deere want to start making full size pickup trucks which makes a lot of sense given what Tesla and Rivian have done and presumably Lucid might do one day as well. Already Edison Motors is validating the only hybrid drive logging truck in a direct challenge to both the entire USA extant Class 8 Industry and Tesla as well and something that will great help John Deere which is already in the specialty logging market as is there only competitor which is based in Canada and produces a state of the art product so good time to be picky with the US Automotive Industry at the moment as the only clear winner they have produced in the past 20 Years is the Made in Mexico Ford Maverick with i believe only Ford even offers a hybrid drive pickup truck and certainly no heavy duty truck made in the USA does this. Obviously Caterpillar will not have a problem producing a hybrid drive system for a heavy duty truck application 😊
