Before doing so do your self a favor and check your licensing costs and insurance rates! Compare them to a 350.

Honestly not sure why anyone would want a 450 vs 350 2017 or later.

Solution for android should be the same as Duane suggested for iPhone pictures - use almost any photo editing software (IRFANVIEW is free and fairly simple), rotate it to the proper orientation (which the software may do automatically), and save it. Make sure it actually saves it by using a different file name, or, as Duane said, make some changes like cropping it - the software should prompt you to save the revised image. Hopefully...

I love the fact that you used the term "main frame" - are you a long time computer guy? I learned Cobol programming in 1970 and ended up managing technical staff for everything from IBM mainframe to racks of Unix and Windows servers, a campus network, corporate email... I have a love/hate relationship with computers.

Off topic by a mile, but long time computer guy here... and still supporting mainframes! They've changed a lot of the decades - and still being upgraded/improved.

I actually got a much lower quote from Progressive on the F450 as well as State Farm compared to the F350. As long as you list it as personal, you actually get a better deal. Licensing costs are the same!

Dan, I guess my age is showing with the mention of a Main Frame!
Will try what you said, but on my desktop computer, the images are all correct. So, not sure what happened when uploading them to this site.

Agree; the F450 can do a much tighter turn radius and the fact that it has larger brake assembly to boot!

Good deal as that is not always the case.
