2021 SRW Regular cab long box Diesel 48 re tradesman level 2. Silver my color has pretty much everything I want Should I buy it it ?

 

[lpennock]

depends on the deal. MSRP or lower, yes. Above MSRP I wouldn't.

 

[bcbender]

If you want it, its what you want, and you are happy with the price... do it.. Sounds like you'll keep it so re-sale not such a big deal. Is it 3500 or 2500?

Can you post the window sticker?

Some options to consider:

Chrome package, includes the 18" tires, T-case skid plate, limited slip rear, brake controller, spray in bed liner and gooseneck prep in case you upgrade from the truck camper.

Ok I can order one here in Anchorage. Same money and I don’t have to go get it . We have two dealers here . Will make appointments at both for on Monday I will make the order. 2021 3500 srw regular cab long box ho Cummins Bigfoot silver 4-6 weeks delivery about 57 k

 

[Ltngdrvr]

Can you still order a 2021???

Ford cut off 2021 a while back.

And, I wouldn't bet on 4-6 weeks, heck, 7 years ago when there was no chip shortage it took over 8 weeks to get mine and I'm a heck of a lot closer to the mexico truck plant than you are.

 

[Turbo Terry]

Yes both dealers said I could

Very good to know thanks for the info

I would not buy a 2021 with the Cp4.2 at this point. 2022 are supposed to have the CP3 pump.

I believe it was 19 and 20 with cp4 and 21 went back to cp3.

I like your thinking and your input. Would be nice to have a one ton truck under my 3000 lbs camper is

 

[Turbo Terry]

Please explain the difference. Also do I really. need a high output for about 3k $ more. Also I heard rumors about a different transmission

I assume you mean cp3 vs cp4. The internal design has roller piston that can rotate in the bore which cause the roll to slide rather than roll. It then starts a self destruction that puts metal fragments throughout the high pressure rail. The metal fragments destroy the injectors. $10k in repair after that.

Two transmissions available, 68RFE comes on standard output and AISIN AS69RC which comes with HO motor. Aisin is a true medium duty transmission while the 68RFE is a light duty transmission. I've never owned the 68RFE so can't comment on how the two compare on driving behavior but I have read the 68RFE is smoother unload than the Aisin.

 

[Turbo Terry]

Good info thank you

 

[Ltngdrvr]

If you get the HO engine, you can only get the Aisin trans.

48 re ???????

Sorry my bad. Old and easily confused No cp4 for me cps3 only. HO Aisin transmission for me. I’m leaving this one bone stock. No more better off modified baby BOMB. Ed it was fun but this truck will be serviced by Dodge I will just drive the dang thing. I promised my wife too my 1999 hasnt been to to a dealer in maybe 15 years. Those days are over for me RIP Nowel. It’s been fun. Rattle rattle rattle and black smoke wow
