If you order a 2023 F-450 be prepared to wait 6-12 months.
I have 2 2022s on order. A Platinum ordered January and a King Ranch ordered March. There no movement on the January order but I got a call from dealer the March ordered has a tentative build date 10/31.Jerry & Linda

Thanks. I have followed the thread about ordering a Superduty and am hopeful if I order as soon as the banks open, it will be a better wait. I dont think anyone knows if those 22 orders will be pushed to 23 or if they get cancelled. I'm ordering from 2 different dealers and I figure while I wait, I will explore other options. I'm trying to set myself up for being able to find something at a reasonable price. It's hard to look at used prices when I was quoted 3% under invoice for a new truck at both dealers i am using.
I also plan to order at least one XLT and see if it is quicker than the higher trim levels. I'm thinking maybe an XLT and Lariat, or an XLT in the 350 version and one in 450 version.
I towed my 399 with a 350 and it wasnt bad, but I do prefer a 450. There arent any to test drive around me, so I dont know first hand about the turning radius, but it looks good on videos comparing them.Last edited by FT4NOW; 09-17-2022 at 08:14 AM.

I had the same problem. There aren’t any 450s to test drive. Any time I saw a newer one pop up I called the dealer and it was sold.
So I ordered. When they come in I’ll test drive and if I don’t like the dealer said no problem, I can walk away. No deposit, no commitment.
One was ordered 4% under invoice but possibly not price protected pricing has gone up $3500 since order. The other was ordered X-plan which makes it right around invoice and it’s price protected.Jerry & Linda

Did same thing at Hershey show in 2018,, pa dealers were all high,, depending where you live, if you don't mind driving to Delaware. The Delmarva rv center gave me a better price than 3 local dealers in Hamburg, Allentown area, with same model / floorplan that i had looked at in Hershey, along with 3 slide toppers thrown in,,, 2018 GD reflection 29bhs

From my experience dealing with DelMarVa RV I recommend you avoid them. I got a great price initially from them that really wasn't so great after they blindsided me with the $500 administration fee. I should have walked then. There was no effort to do any delivery prep let alone PDI when I got there to take delivery. Remember you most probably will need warranty work at some point. DelMarVa will not help you and you'll find other dealers will turn you away ( Stolfutz, Schaeffer ) unless you buy from them.

Regret to hear that you were not happy,, my experience was quite different,, I was informed of the administration fee,, prepping and prep talk also went well,, then 2 weeks after the sale i received an (unknown that it was coming) check for PA taxes that were due from them,, as far as warranty work my local dealer in Easton area has great service with out the need to have purchased there,,

In my mind the biggest issue is how well you can manage with no tow vehicle for some period of time.
For things like this, it's not worth the worry of getting the exact best deal; it is not easy to hit the very peak or valley in the market. My credo is if it is what you want and fits the budget, go for it. No-one ever went broke spending $5K more or got rich spending $5k less. Not worth the stress.2017 Ford F350 Platinum 6.7L PowerStroke DRW

I agree with your Darlin' Wife. We have a 2019 381M (b4 Covid). We've been extremely happy! Yes, me, the Wife wanted this GD Toyhauler and it was the Best Decision we made Together.
Please remember, if this unit fits all the Pro check listed items, then there really isn't much more of a discussion. Be Pleased you are having a nice Discounted Price for YOUR CUSTOM BUILT GD.
AS FOR A TRUCK, we have a 2019 F350 DUALLY. Our choice in hitch is the Andersen Hitch and it's so easy for me to hitch up, drive and setup for Boondocking. Our 1st choice of RVing is Boondocking and if necessary we will go into an RV Park.
Since having our 5th Toyhauler, the major change was to take the 4 seat beautiful couch to a 2-seat, placing a dining table without the center post (mounted to the wall). We added Solar that works fabulous since we Boondock with our Side-by-side 4 seater. We are not fulltime.
Listen to your Wife, that's the Best Answer for a Happy Life in RVing.
Good Luck! Stay Safe and Enjoy your new Chapter in your Life.
