One of my friends just purchased a new F-150; they come from the factory lifted now with Toyo AT's.
$65K (unfawking real)

 

[ntsaint]

Car prices are getting out of hand. To hell with $65k for a ford truck. Or $85k for a new land cruiser.

I will never buy new again. Hell I can't afford to anymore I guess...

 

[Bomar]

No. That is all aftermarket add on. Fuel wheels and Toyo's are not OEM. Raptor comes with BFGS.

 

[Bomar]

I bet 9k add on's if true lift and not level kit.

 

[ntsaint]

I bet 9k add on's if true lift and not level kit.

To hell with $56k for a ford truck then

 

[Nottajeep]

He told me they do the lift's and all at the factory now.
All covered under Ford bumper2bumper warranty

It's a true 6" lift also

 

[Bodean]

65k for a gas burner... Not this white boy!

 

[Bomar]

His dealership will cover it since they made the $$$ but it is not OE. That is the business I am in.

He should have bought a Raptor and it would have been OE.

I bet 99% DSI did it which is part of Transamerica which is parent company of 4 wheel parts.

 

[Bomar]

They hit him atleast 9k closer to 12k

This truck had electronics out the ass.
He couldn't even lower the tailgate from the outside due to some electronic lock
Cameras everywhere but one thing I thought was cool is the sunroof covers the entire cabin top

BTW- I haven't bought a new car in 18 years. Ever since I read the book "Millionaire Next Door"

 

[Bomar]

Some of those have airbags in rear belt itself.

 

[Nottajeep]

Bomar- it was the Frisco, TX Ford dealer. you probably know them

 

[offr0adlim0]

As Bomar said that's not ford. More than likely it started as a well equipped truck and then got the lift which is more than likely Rough Country, bushwacker fender flares, wheels tires Etc. very similar as what Southern Comfort used to do to tahoes and avalanches other than the fact it's done in house at the dealership versus a 3rd party. Great way to boost sales and making it more eye catching as well as getting the mark up profit on parts and labor. If he ever has any suspension issues with the truck make sure he goes back to the dealer he bought it from as none of that is covered by Ford Motor Company. In fords eyes warranty is voided on suspension, ride quality, tire wear and NVH.
