I have absolutely no use for a sunroof (moonroof?), but often the vehicle/trim I want includes the sunroof as standard equipment. 1988 Audi 5000S, 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L, 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L, 2017 Toyota Highlander XLE. On a 2018 F-150, the twin panel moonroof is optional on Lariat 501A and 502A. So if I order a 2018, I'll simply not order the moonroof.

Yup. 2 year old truck, CPO, no sunroof, and it only had 7k-something miles and a solid payload. We were happy to find it--it ticked all the boxes that we needed.

WOOT!! They must have had a glitch in the B&P page because now I CAN build a 502a without the sunroof! Good to know when I go to order in 2019. Just checked and the 601a King Ranch is also the same. I am considering a 2019 or 2020 KR 601a.

Nah, Ford will probably change the Order Guide for the 2018.5 F-150.

Boo. Hiss. Grumble.


I was at the dealer today to get new tires and alignment done(Hopefully this resolves my steering dilemma) and found not one, but two truck in Magma Red. At first I thought it was a MR and a Black, then saw the sparkle and though, nope, thats not black. It looks like Kodiak Brown but with more red in it. I sure hope that color is around for 2019.

1900 is tough if you need a screw and want some features. Well, impossible really. You need to sacrifice some decent features and go HDPP or stick with a reg/scab.

I have a 2014 with 1539 lbs payload and even with my 5500 lb trailer, I think I am pushing it once I put me, my wife, the baby, and a generator in the truck.
