I do. Nothing will be modified. Unless you consider normal truck stuff like mudflaps, snowplow and maybe more aggressive all terrain tires modifications. I don't.

did you have to order it? or was it already on the lot? what engine did you go with? reg cabs arent popular in my area to begin with, but so far I have not seen a single one anywhere. Ive been watching local dealers and none of them seem to have gotten any yet, not even work truck long beds.

I haven't seen one either but I have one ordered. It should be in today. I have another truck. I ordered on November 3. If anybody would like to have this truck here is the VIN 1FTMF1EP8FFB49015. You can go to COTUS to see it.

I have a number of years to wait...but when I'm an empty nester with the wife, I'll be getting a regular cab short bed! Looks great on the 15's too.

I ordered it. It took 4 months and 2 days. It's the base 3.5 engine.

There were very few RC truck made and even fewer long bed RC due to the frame shortage I think.

There were a few on the lots around here. Most sold it seems.

Why not just get a 5.0 RCSB 2wd and put a supercharger on it? Much more potential there and less work.

You will probably be in for a long wait either way whatever you order in a RC truck.

By then there wont be any such beast, at least not new anyway. The way fuel mileage regulations are going "they" are saying that future regulations will be determined by the foot print a vehicle has. anything under a certain size will be required to get "X" mpg or better and because of it's small overall size a reg cab short bed will fall into a different category than any of it's larger brethren.

Good luck finding a RCSB 5.0 2015. Ford only made a few. Reason I decided to keep my 13 RCSB 5.0.
