I picked up a smoking deal on the new wheels yesterday, after going to a dozen dealers that lied about "our exact cost of trucks" one showed me the actual invoice cost for the truck. It was perfect, we bought it.
I am going to buy a SRW 1 ton in the next couple days too, and now another dealer that saw the invoice on yesterdays beat it! The standard markup from invoice to retail sticker price on the door is from 5500.00-8000.00 depending on the dealer, options, etc.
Just FYI, the King Ranch SRW I was looking at showed a retail price of $69,879.00 + tax. The DRW Lariet that we bought retailed at $66,787.00. I got it for $60,500.00.
I know is USA the same truck would likely be $55,000.00.
I will keep an eye on mileage, troubles, etc and post here, if anyone cares about the new twin turbo.
I also have a 2000 F350 DRW Lariat LE that is chipped, K&N filter, 4" Exhaust, etc. It is very fast, and the new twin turbo walked away from me. I likely had another thousand pounds in the old truck; fuel tank, winch, hitch, etc, but the 08 walked away. Impressive.
