Default Pulled the trigger on a 2016 Platinum 6.5' bed

Just traded my 2015 King Ranch Super Duty on a 2016 Platinum 6.5' 4x4. I've driven a Super Duty for the last 5 years as not much more than a daily driver (I've hauled a decent load maybe a half dozen times). Even those loads were nothing close to what the F-150 is capable of pulling.

I really like the new body style of the 15+ trucks and the technology updates are nice as well (Sync 3, led headlights, twin-panel moonroof).

Having it lifted 6", Fuel Beast rims, 35x12.50R20 Toyo Open Country, PTM pocket flares, PTM mirror caps, Rhino liner done next week. I'll post pics of the before and after.

How much did you get for your 15 KR?
We just got a fully loaded 16 lariat 350. Just curious on used values.

BTW congrats on F150 6.5 bed!

Got $50k for the Super Duty which gave me over $12k going into this purchase. Here she is in all her South Texas dirty gloriousness, LOL.

She's back at the dealership and should be returned in a week or so with the mods complete. WISH ME LUCK and thanks for looking. Updated pics when I get her back.

Same dirt, but this is a sneak pic from my dealer. It's still got to be shipped back and detailed for final delivery. Gotta get rid of the chrome on the handles, bumper and grille.
