Build your truck online now - Diesel Forum

Looks like Ford got the '08 stuff on their web site now. Its no longer a "future truck".
Kind of cool, on the build your truck feature, it lists prices and good info for each and every option.

What I want just totalled up to a $1009 monthly payment.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Wow. I built a 250 and that payment was $883...that hurts too.

Ill stick with my 6.0

Looks like a similar vehicle to my current one would be about 10k more. But thats a new engine, and some goodies i don't have now. I guess i thought it would be a lot more than that.

just for grins I did a truck on the bobby Williams site that was identical to mine.

the 08 is $42,570
the 06 is $38,665

the difference is all base price ($1900) and engine ($1800).

Could one of you kindly put up the link to get to the "build your truck" I can't seem to get into it. Maybe it's me, computer stupid!

That's friggin nuts! Add insurance, crappy fuel mileage, and high maintenance on top of that and Ford is as good as gone.

I'm in the market for another truck for work under a company reimbursement plan. I can guarantee it won't be a new Ford, and if the other two are doing the same thing, it won't be a diesel. Gassers are getting better mileage, lower maintenance, and are nearly $15K cheaper.

My lowly underpowered, noisy '01 will have to stay in the driveway until the weekends.

Someone enlighten me. I just went through this build your own site as a check against what I ordered. On the site you can't get a KR with tailgate step!! Strange or did I do it wrong? Also, I noticed the extra heavy duty battery was standard but on my order slip it was an additional cost. What do I get when my truck shows up--what I ordered three weeks ago or what is available now??
Confused.

Maybe the step is part of the KR package???
I know the one I drove saturday had a step on it.

I dunno, seemed like every time I clicked on another option, it would lock out others, or shade in others.

Just built mine 46,575 for an XLT c/c 4x4 !!! the prices on these trucks are getting crazy. I know not to long ago a c/c 4x4 lariat was stickering for about the same. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

RjeffJ · 02-21-2007, 10:12 AM

I went back and checked. The tailgate step was not part of KR package. If you started with a Lariat you could add the step but not if you started with a KR. I'm going to call the dealer. I agree with you, I have also seen KR with tailgate steps. Geess Ford get it right!
Thanks

I can't even build my truck. It times out to a blank page when I start adding all the options on the last step. I was trying to configure my exact truck that I have on order: SD CC 6.4L Auto Lariat 20" Rims Dk Shadow Grey Stone Int Black Accent and a host of options on the last page.

I have attempted the build 5 times between yesterday and this morning with the same result. Has anyone else had this problem? BTW, I have a very good Broadband connection and don't think this is the problem.

It was doing the same thing to me. I dont know if I ever actually made it all the way through to completion

Markford14 · 02-21-2007, 12:28 PM

Just built nearly the same truck i have now and the MSRP went up $675. But that still doest include iteams like the memory package, reverse senors, traction control, gps, tailgate step and extender.
