In my post above I recommended both the Bed Liner and the All Weather Floor Mats. I just wanted to clarify my post by saying that I did get All Weather Floor Mats (similar to the WeatherTech Mats) and not the "carpet delete" option.
Additionally, I may not have been clear about the bed liner, the factory bed liner option is a "Spray On" bed liner from Ford, I wanted the Factory bed liner and not an after market (or dealer installed) "spray on" bed liner.
I agree with you about the Sun Roof option, but, I live in Florida where the Sun is Brutal.David and Peggy

Totally agree. We have the 350 Platinum crew cab with the long box. Also has the biggest fuel tank. We love the diesel towing and our package came with the cab camera which is nice for hooking up the fiver.

The 2021 F-450 is the best pickup I have ever driven, hands down!
I formerly had a 2013 F-350 SRW 6.7L Power Stroke , and it pulled my 2019 Solitude(weighed 15,500 lbs. w/ 3,760 pin weight) great and seemed to handle good most of the time. However coming down a 7% posted grade, 3 miles, the exhaust brake would not hold back the truck’s speed and had to make several brake applications. I also had felt uneasy in some windy conditions but I can’t say for sure how strong of winds, maybe 30 to 40 mph.
Today, I took my 450 down the same 7% grade and the exhaust brake worked like a champ, with zero brake applications.
It did raise the rpms for a short distance to 3,700 but almost the entire decline it was around 3,200.
Regarding turning radius, there is a campground nearby that was assigned to me, it was for 34’ trailers (unbeknownst to me). My Solitude 40’6” and I could not get it in to the space without coming from the opposite direction which had less obstacles using my former 2013 350 SRW. I tried backing it into the space again this morning in my new 450 and got it in there. The turning radius is a bigger deal than I realized!
I really like the 450 if you couldn’t tell! Ha!2021 F-450 King Ranch

Factory tailgate step won't help if the 5th wheel is hooked up. I've added the Amp Research bedstep to all of my Ford trucks. They are worth it. No body modifications to install: https://www.amp-research.com/bedsteps
As for bed liner, I am a Line-X fan and would recommend that over the factory. Less money and a great product IMHO.New: 2021 Solitude 380FL

My impressions of the last 5yrs reading similar forum posts-
Only get F250 if forced by heavy registration fees for F350/F450 in certain states.
F350 CCSB SRW Diesel, especially with tremor, is super popular all rounder...can be equally used for towing, daily driver, and offroad. Better turning radius than long bed, which us F350 weakness. Some feel that the tremor takes too much away from towing with tires/wheel being blamed.
F350 CCLB SRW is popular 7.3 gas configuration out as you get very stable towing, great payload, no worrying about dually tires, and very good power for commonly sized 7-12k lb conventional travel trailers. Diesel with exhaust brake needed for over 12k lbs or 5th wheel. If you are never going to 5th wheel or tow heavy, this is probably all you will ever need.
F450 CCLB DRW Diesel is the king of trailer/rv towing due turning radius, commercial tires, and Ford optimizing design for big 5th wheel handling. Can do practically anything...except go unnoticed daily driving or fit in many parking garages or some drive thru's.
If you must have the highest possible numbers, F350 CCLB DRW Diesel is what you will see everywhere in commercial towing-for-hire or the construction industry. If payload is all you want with lowest cost of operation long term and not towing, get 7.3 gas variant.

We ordered a king Ranch 350 diesel with puck system and then switched out our hitch to the Pull Rite hitch. We felt we needed the extra towing power as we plan to go more long distance trips. We ordered a Momentum 397R due for delivery any day now.

We had our dealer order a 2022 F250 Lariat Crewcab on March 22nd, as part of their annual allotment. Currently we have a bumper pull that meets our needs but, a 5th wheel might be in the future. The dealer accepted the X Plan discount. Production for FY2022 Super Duty is scheduled to begin June 24th. Normal delivery would be 4-6 weeks. Hopeful we will see it by Fall.
6.7 Power Stroke
3.31 electronic locker (unless you are pulling full time, the 10 speed transmission minimized the advantage of a lower differential)
Lariat Value pkg.
5th wheel prep (puck and in bed wire connection)
Trailer Tow Package - High Capacity
Engine block heater
Tailgate step (Love the tailgate step on our F150 Platinum)
Skid plates
I will add a rubber bed mat (easier on the knees) wheel well liners, and Weathertech or Husky mats.
Did not want a sunroof or Nav (again). I saw no need for the stiffer shocks on the FX4 pkg on a daily driver.
We cost compared the F350 Lariat and the F250 Lariat w/ high cap. trailer tow. The F250 matched the F350 drivetrain and suspension, was less expensive, and is cheap to register in many states.Last edited by Rivercityjeff; 05-09-2021 at 01:50 PM.
