So I looked at a RCSB XL 4x4 yesterday and it was just under $37,000! Add the Coyote V8 for an additional $1,000! No rebates yet because they are so new, and because nobody wants the regular cab trucks. Holy crap...the prices have gotten nuts on these trucks.

4x4 adds almost $4,000 on these, and I'm sure that truck had a bunch of other options. You can get an XL RWD under $30K with the 5.0. Or with pretty good options about $33-34K. 4X4 does kill the entry price tag.

Unfortunately, 4x4 is a requirement for me due to winter weather and living in a rural area, not to mention that the truck will hook and launch much better when a Camaro sneaks up to the red lights.

About 250 lbs.

My 2006 GTO was horrific. I thought it was gunna explode one time. I was sitting behind a c6 vette once and i thought the fiberglass body panels were gunna fall off. You could see them flapping around.

I wouldnt doubt if he was over 6000 lbs. My 2014 Lariat screw 6.5' is 6140 lbs on the cat scale empty. Payload is 1539lbs with a 7700 lb GVWR, so within 20 lbs of the catscale. His is the iron block 5.4 so I bet its at least as heavy as mine, if not more.

No way is it 7050 unless it had a bunch of crap in it.

The Ford Build and Price shows $33,565 for a 2018 4x4 RSCB 5.0. 37,000 must have had a bunch of options.
