Brew, hadn't heard anything. My quick googlefu only brought up articles like Ohio posted. Must be something people are talking about, not FORD. I'll keep my ears open in my highboy section on FTE. They seem to be the braintrust for Highboy's on the internet lol


Also whitey yeah I was going to respond to him multiple times... instead I offered up some grammar advice... can't help those who won't help themselves

Who knows? And they want $85 for it. Umm, no. If I could get it with the brackets for $20, it *might* be worth the drive and restoration.

Too bad I just re-covered my console lid, otherwise I'd have the material to do an Expy one if it's needed. (I don't think the lids interchange, do they?)

I was looking at the quote: "...according to a Ford Executive, Jim Farley: 'Everyone loves the Raptor. With the new Super Duty, we got another new version that no one’s ever seen; not a Raptor, but something different.'" This seems to indicate a new 250 variant is in the works.

Here is what mine looks like.
Under one of the vehicles last month with the F65A-5059-CG transmission support. Put blue masking tape on one of the gussets for extra visual. Hope this helps.

Yea the Super duty's are getting the 7.3 option, case your un aware, I'm following you though...something different, what ? lol. But yea, the 7.3 option starts at the super duty continuing through their dump trucks. I hope it's the high boy, man would that be a shocker.

I read yours top to bottom, no mention of the "high boy", just something different. That's why I had doubts.

EDIT: no way...I read that a few times, actually looking for "high boy"...It did not mention the words high boy in the title or high boy in red letters it does now. I swear, no high boy earlier. Does now, plain as day.

Believe whatever, I'd stake my life on it, no high boy in title or in red earlier. I'll look in history, see what pops up there...hangon dangit.

Yep, here it is , your link landed me here earlier, -

https://leftlanenews.com/ford/f-seri...0-power-wagon/

Swear to god. The first time I search for it myself is time stamped at 5:14pm today. So, very weird. SOB Internet pimped me.

I think I know what must have occurred. I hit your link now and at one time nothing came up, blank page but it was still searching. Closed out, hit your link again and the right page comes up. That link I got the first time MUST have come up in the crossfire somehow. Only way I can see that happening.

I live here and still haven't seen one of those plates yet. I'll look at the race start in March and see if anyone has them.

I was up in Ketchikan this summer for about a week and saw ONE... couldn't believe I actually saw one, wanted to talk to the guy about the race but my coworkers weren't as interested as I was lol. Yeah I imagine not too many running around with them. First you have to have completed one and then you'd have to want one and apply for it thru the DMV providing your bib number. Running that race is a bucket list item for me but there's a lot involved just to meet the Pre-reqs for the race. Also I'd need a few more pups, right now I just have one but man he loves to run/pull. I'm working on getting a scooter for him so we can run without snow. But yeah I'd love to have a plate for decoration in the garage seeing as how I don't live in AK and thus will never get one even if I did finish a race lol. (Still working on getting the wife to apply for jobs when her residency is done... to live there just a year... yeah she's not buying into it right now

Buy hey if you visit the race start, take some pics! Maybe I'll get a vacation planned up there sometime to coincide with the race.
