Something still doesn't sound right--$70k list, $60k price is about 14%. I would think the bottom line would be about $57k. I am seeing some TV ads about $15k off all Superdutys in the Dallas area. Or at least that what I thought I saw--could always be some fine print.
If this is the truck you really want, it may be time to jump on it.

Sticker on mine was $80,400. Z plan (below invoice) was $72 something, so that sounds about right. Can't find the copy of my invoice right now.

Yes, mine has the 2" riser and Morryde pinbox. I also have the Trailersaver TS3. It seems to ride pretty good, for the most part everything stays put in transit and the ride in the truck is comfortable.

I have not added anything to the suspension. I'm a little low in the rear when completely loaded, but the truck handles and steers perfectly. I added airbags to my '11 F350 just to bring it level when towing, which it did, but I didn't feel it improved ride or handling so I didn't add them to my '14 or '17. The pavement in the photo is not really level, but gives you an idea.

That trailer is 15' overall, giving me a total of 73'. Michigan's legal limit was recently raised to 75'. I only planned to double tow locally (taking a golf cart to daughter's horse shows), but now I'm actually looking for a smaller trailer to take two dual sport motorcycles out of state next year.

I have been very happy with my Kendon MC trailer!

I've looked at those, very nice. I'm still undecided on open or enclosed as my travel will be December thru March and starting/returning to Michigan. I hate to think how trashed the bikes would be travelling in a snow storm on our salt covered roads. Since mine are enduros, both bikes together only weigh 650 lbs and are less than 24" wide. I should be able to get away with a 5x8 if I go enclosed.

Nice, I know of several people that use the Kendon trailer. Nothing but positive comments about them.

"Each to their own notion.", said the old woman as she kissed thw cow...

For hauling my toys on trailers: I find that fully enclosed units do a much better hob of:
Keeping them cleaner
and keeping them away from "prying eyes"...

But if you like what your'e using:

I have the 3.55. I was undecided up until the last minute, but decided I didn't need the 31K towing capacity of the 4.10. The 3.55 is rated at 27K, which is more than enough for me.

It might even give you a tiny bit better fuel mileage too!
(When you're not towing... )
