Your trade numbers are very encouraging so that is great news. I bet she gets out of her own way. I was impressed what the 18 did in sport mode so I can't imagine what another 65HP is gonna make it feel like. Can't lie I am a big fan of that dual exhaust and struggled with my 18 purchase knowing the engine and the exhaust were not coming with me. Congrats to you, she's a beauty.

What were the other little perks and what interior color did you end up with. That was my other hold up on previous model Limited's. I love the blue even after initially hating it.

Ha. It was love at first sight with the blue. But the 2 tone Camelback (brown) is more classier and brightens up the inside interior. I wanted the suede headliner. The seats are a little different as they allow more airflow for cooling. The ambient lighting is not fixed. It's intensity is adjustable. The heated steering wheel has an off/on icon on the infotainment screen now. The steering wheel has a more smoother like buttery leather feel to it. The rear seat cup holders aren't built into the armrest as now a 2 cup holder extends out from it.
As far as the trade numbers I was equally bold and aggressive. Dealer lowballed at $44k. But I always buy at end of the month when quotas are trying to be met. Meet my price or I walk. I mean, worse case scenario I drove back home in my 2018 Limited. There are worse things in life. Ha.

Hmm I didn't know about some of those little tasty creature comforts. The suede headliner i did that must be cool. I did Forscan my steering wheel heat and seat heat and cool to my home screen so that's a bonus. My 18 has the extending cup holders I wonder if that was a late year change and I think I have the same steering wheel you speak of all though I am going to put the raptor one in here shortly. I have an ambient lighting adjuster as well. I have a feeling that my late build 18 might have what you have other than the headliner and the engine....darnit if they only had dropped that engine in there and forgot to mark it up...

Yes, many times late builds get some extra goodies. The engine is kick ***. Look, I get a new truck every 2 years or so. This year was an exception because a newly designed F150 is debuting 2021 and I didn't want to do a trade without the Raptor engine. My 2018 would have been 3 years old and minus the Raptor engine. My trade value would have tanked. Plus, Ford is coming out with the 7.3L V8 which I suspect will be the new standard engine for the Raptor possibly. It's already an option on the 2020 Super Duty released later this year. Heck, I may get a F250 Super Duty Limited with the V8. Never wanted a diesel.

I certainly hope the word tank doesn't come into play when I trade. My 2011 Limited held it's value pretty well at $17,300 with 125K and $3500 worth of rust they had to fix. It was easily worth $19,500 with no rust. I won't be trading anytime soon and a 7.3L beast sounds like an expensive gas station visit, regularly. I hope they keep the Eco I love the engine but get what you are saying. Limited's with the smaller engine are probably going to suffer a little bit with the high output now available. Hopefully people looking for the limited will still consider the smaller engine a plus for what ever savings can be had on all the other creature comforts. .4 seconds is the only difference in a straight line even though towing and torque are higher. Oh well, it is what it is, my wife would lock me out of the house if I told her I needed to upgrade even though she wouldn't even notice if I came home in a 19...did I just say that.

Hahaha...I don't want to corrupt you. That was an excellent price on your 2011 Limited. Even with the rust. Obviously the dealer saw value in it. The jury is still out on my gas mileage with the Raptor engine as I'm still in the break in period. You're right about the extra visits to the gas station with a 7.3L V8. I'm not a business owner as most Super Duty buyers may be so no write-offs for me. But I do want to go bigger. And the 2020 F250 Limited is beautiful.
