Magnaride.

Look, I'm not picking on you, just saying I think this suspension has issues.

Thats all.

 

I am unsure of what you are getting at. Are you saying that magnaride has issues?

 

If so its not applicable to the truck we are talking about here, one ton dually's do not have magnaride, that is a feature on the 1500 model trucks not 2500/3500. On a 3500 the suspension the suspension does not change based on trim level, torsion bars, a big leaf pack on the rear and regular ol shocks for all one ton DRW.

A friend of mine had the magna ride go out on his 1/2 ton, at like 80K mi and it cost a fortune and weeks of down time.

Still not sure where that applies to this discussion of 1ton DRW trucks where said feature is not offered?

They can wear out like other shocks, mostly by developing leaks. They aren't as expensive as they used to be either. They are more than a regular shock though.

Not for the same reason as OP, but I moved from F250 (after 30 years of Fords) to Silverado 2500HD High Country because the new F250 seats were totally uncomfortable for me. They do not fit my tall (6'6") frame. The head rests push my shoulders forward to the point that I was hunched over while driving. The Chevy seats fit me better.

 

I've been very pleased with the power, the technology (love the integrated trailer camera), the ride. Towing my very heavy (when loaded) 20' trailer is great.

 

Not impressed with the way the front/back cameras don't align with the side cameras and (apparently) no way to calibrate them in software so that they all line up. That's dumb.

Thanks for the info. They are taking away the massage seats from the platinum I ordered so that was the last straw - if it even gets built. And if it gets built, it will be a 2023 being delivered at end of the year at best. People on the Ford sites are all giddy now that Ford is taking orders for 2024. What proof do I have that next year Ford will get there problems fixed?

All this taking away from orders is complete BS. You mean to tell me one of the largest companies in the world can’t secure the necessary parts to put these options in trucks?? Bull!!!

 

Is it chip or supply chains nowadays or is it on to the next phrase? That phrase is “maximizing profits “ Complete hogwash.

I requested two vehicles through the ordering process. I read about in hotrod mag the coming 94 impala ss. I told my dealer I wanted the first in our town. I was a repeat buyer there. I saw one running in town got the second. The second was a 2001 Acura Intagra type R. Put down a deposit. A year later gave them a call. Oops they said but they happen to have one. It’s still in my garage. Too much trouble I’m not that picky. The deals are better off the lot especially for leftovers.

I ordered a F450 in October. Dealer has been no help. Ordered a 3500 high country dually in late June since Ford is not making trucks. Chevy dealer has kept me informed. Looks like this will be built at end of August. With the strike coming Sept15, I might get lucky. I can't get over why Ford won't take my money?
