Unbelievable incentives on the 2012 units these days ! 18K off ( damn near 25 %) !!!
Had a 2004 F250 6.0 Liter PS which I was relatively happy with and traded it off on a 2011 GMC Sierra 2500 6.0 Liter gasser not a bad truck but pretty hard fuel and power and torque when pulling heavy loads as I suspected but felt the need to get into a diesel again. Recently test drove the big three diesels and the Ford definately stood out to me as the nicest truck out there, the motor power and fuel efficiency also seemed incredible during the test drive! I am looking forward to bringing this unit home and putting it to work.
Hope this 6.7 is a dependable engine, the only issues I have heard to date are a couple blown turbos but they where both on chipped trucks. Dont suspect I will be chipping or modifying anything as the motor should have plenty of power and torque to suit my needs.
Will be posting again in a few months on my experience with this truck.

Live North of the border my friend. A flully loaded King Ranch runs in the 82 K neighborhood, with Lariats in the mid 70 K's, purchased mine at Merit Ford in Carlyle, Saskatchewan. There was a 10 K manufacturer rebate and and a 8 K dealer rebate on top of it. Seen in the local papers there are some other comparable deals around on 2012's in this area.

Thanks for the reply folks, seems to be some strong support out there promoting these trucks !
It's kinda funny, with all of the negativity around the 6.0 L Liter Ford I always had in the back of my mind when I owned one that the truck was a lemon after reading so many bad reviews on it and really believe it took the enjoyment out of owning it as I was constantly worried about problems and being left stranded along the road. However the truck served me well and I did not have a single issue with it, even travelled with a friend that owned the same year Dodge Cummins pulling comaparable sized travel trailers and the 6.0 liter would pull steep grades nimbly while the Cummins would be far behind and not too mention over heating at times but he would constantly brag up that Cummins Lol!
Anyhow looking forward to driving a Ford again!
and the 6.0 liter would pull steep grades nimbly while the Cummins would be far behind
If that was the case with your 6.o'no, then you will be flying up the hills with your 6.7.

Live North of the border my friend. Not certain if the new truck prices in the US are comparable but a flully loaded King Ranch runs in the 82 K neighborhood, with Lariats in the mid 70 K's, purchased mine at Merit Ford in Carlyle, Saskatchewan. There was a 10 K manufacturer rebate and and a 8 K dealer rebate on top of it. Seen in the local papers there are some other comparable deals around on 2012's in this area.
I do live North of the Border. Lol. The Mexican border unfortunately.
Full loaded King Ranch is $64-65 MSRP My last lariat ultimate had a $62k sticker and paid under $50 for it. All options except king ranch. I found this ad locally here in Houston, 2013s already under $50k for $61-$62k trucks. I love it. Diesel has gone up lately around here, $3.89, highest its been in a year in this area.
That all seems about right. Sticker on my 2011 was 58,900. I bought it Jan 31 of 2012 new for $46,000, or about 13K off. 18K off would have been sweet!

you guys are lucky I cant find that around here, I just went and looked at a 12 F350 loaded xlt sticker price of 54,900 and they are selling it for 45,500 and I thought that was great compared to everyone else around here.

MSRP is just the pie in the sky. I certainly hope you're not paying that much for them.
If your local dealer's charging that much, it's probably because he's the only Ford dealer around, and there's a lack of competition. Distances can get pretty far around Saskatchewan, but Regina is not that far from you.
Like they sometimes say: "Drive a little, save a lot." Find another dealer.

I'm about where you are at on the price for my 2012 F-350 CC LB SRW Fx4 Lariat. Sticker $62,730 + $800 for bedliner and tinted windows and with the all said...$51,896 without ford financing ($1K credit) or TT&L. Still debating the deal only because my 03 is paid for and running pretty damn good. And yes, I did drive the 2012.

Actually there are number of Ford dealers around the area, including Regina and the MRSP's are similair on these trucks right across Canada and yes you would have to be pretty stupid to pay that price. We do have access to the internet here North of the border and I definately did my research on pricing and found the best deal from a list of about a dozen close dealers.
The MRSP decals are already attached to the vehicles windows before they even touch the ground here ....and the dealers don't set those prices.The MRSP's on any vehicles are higher in Canada then they are the US and it's always been that way.

So far so good ! Only 800 K on it so far but a real nice unit and I definately am not going to be complaining about the 21 mpg highway @ 60 hph fuel economy I am seeing so far!

Sure wish I lived where there was some real competition. MSRP on my Lariat was $66 with all the options I loaded on. I'm geting it for $60K but I can't get anyone to go lower. The only good news is I'm getting $5k over NADA on my 8 year old 4Runner. Oh well, I just have to wait for it - and hope I'll be a happy camper with my expensive new toy.
