Blue Oval,

I'm on the road or else I'd share the exact numbers for mine. Since we are both x-Plan they'd be the same. I got the same truck you are looking for (Super Cab) with Sat Radio, Back Up Camera and Reverse Sensors. Found $4,500 in incentive money by taking advantage of Trade in Assist and Ford Motor Credit money ($1,000 ea) and walked out the door at $26'ish before local tax.

The back up camera was something I thought I'd never use, but it is terrific to be able to park this thing with millimeter precision.

You can order, but your Dealer can probably find the spec you are looking for and Google turns out to be a great search tool for you to use since most dealers are putting their inventory on line these days.

My Dealer was not supposed to let me pickup mine on a Dealer trade, so I rode down there with them to pick it up.

I did a google search as suggested in this thread and found one equipped how I want it (with a few extras) but it is 900 miles away in Illinois. I'm in no rush, one is bound to pop up closer than that.

I found quite a few closer but without the "XLT Plus Package" that I want.

Just bought my super crew yesterday with the 3.7. I've put 160 miles on it in 2 days, mostly interstate doing around 75 and getting about 18.5 according to the computer on the dash. Overall i'm happy with it so far. I traded in a 09 super crew with the 4.6 3v and seemed to be getting around the same mileage. It may go up some though after break in.

The MSRP is $32,915 and X-Plan is $30,688

There are $3,500 in available incentives or 0% for 60 months and $1k trade assist. I also have $750 coupon from brochure.

I am trying to figure out whether I should spring for the SCrew and if so, get the 6'5" bed, which would mean no more V6 or Custom Package. I just can't seem to find a way to like the shorter bed.

If I did, I could still get the 3.7L and Custom Pkg.

I always hated the idea of having a shorter bed, we race four wheelers and have to travel a good bit to get to where we're going for the most part. My brother bought a fairly nice and light open trailer that's 8x16 if I ever need any more room than what's in the back of my sc, I just use it. Didn't turn out so bad. I think the ones with the 6.5 bed and sc look extremely long. imo

Yeah, I guess my opinion differs on the short/long bed debate. I think it looks more "normal" with the longer bed.

I don't haul often but when I do, I'd like to have the extra space.

Truck looks very sharp in Silver, would love to see a few more pics. If you could get an interior one too, that'd be awesome.

Not his truck, but same interior:








Also, Cars.com has a pretty good search engine ... happy hunting
