See my other reply to my own comment... I got A/Z price... I thought it was a fair deal..

Sorry, guys - I brainfarted... I got the A/Z plan price (employee price) as Ford was running a special incentive program at the beginning of 2016. Employee cold give out one A/Z plan control number to anyone.

All the rebates and such at the tine were included. They had more cash on the hood of trucks on the lot, but I was picky and wanted a specific configuration. I was ok with this considering my purchase decision.

BTW, I didn’t make out that bad on my 2016 Lariat 502A truck. I have a friend that got me X-plan price on a special order truck.

I am a former Chrysler employee with access to great pricing, but the Ford F150 design language and features made me jump ship for the 2016 F150. The LED Headlight and tail light config is pretty F’n sharp.

Close enough for Gawker. ;-)

I would have checked out after this ‘crash’...

Yup. Had the Ballast Point Sculpin. Great stuff. Dogfish is real good and the plant tour is amazing. However, they are a bit arrogant about their product, as their pricing (even locally!) indicates.

These two chicks need to take a ride up around the corner to Dogfish Head Brewery, and chill the F _ _ K out.

Those were the days !!! The BR/BE platform was great.

I can’t say positively, but it wouldn’t be unusual for them to patent it.

There is a two step version as well, but it could still be a challenge depending on your capabilities...

I know all about the SuperCab configurations available. Bottom line: not interested. I was more than happy to give up 1.5' of bed to gain two proper doors and interior space.

There are a few aftermarket options for tailgate steps, but none of them as nice as the Ford step. I wonder how much fan work would be necessary to ge. A Ford tailgate to fit a Chevy or RAM...

Having the tailgate up is a nice sense of security.

Yeah? What year? Engine? Sounds like a sweet work truck! I would love a gas V8 Manual SuperCrew Long bed from any of the big three...

You’ll have to wait until the patents expire on both... Maybe not even then.

I needed the SuperCrew and if they sold an 8' bed on the SuperCrew F150, I would have bought it even though it would probably have a 170" wheelbase.

If you are carrying something up into the bed of the truck, the tailgate step is pretty handy. I rarely use the handle... Some day I might need it. ;-)

Too bad they gave you a Limited with only a 5.5' box. That quad might have almost fit in the 6.5' box.
