I'm looking at one with 20 inch wheels on it. Does anybody have one they can measure the height from ground to the top of the bed rail? I need to make sure my old fifth-wheel will work with it.

Measuring at the center of the wheel to the bed (using level from the bed), it appears to be 57 7/8 inches.

Find one? I called that local dealer back and they had 1 come in but it was sold before it was unloaded

I found a used 2021 with 7,000 miles on it. And it has all the equipment on it that it should. Unlike the 2022's that come in with several things not available. Paying a couple thousand over the shown new price when you build one online, but that is todays market. A complete truck in hand is better than an incomplete truck you might get in December.

Thanks for the measurements. That's about 2 inches higher than my Dodge and I am already slightly nose high. I'm going to have to make it work until the wife can make up her mind on a new 5th wheel.

VERY TRUE ! Glad you found 1, Hope it works out for you...
I am also on Blue Oval Forums and there are a few that ordered high trim levels only to get notified that they will be built without certain luxury items they wanted.. They went and found an ordered lot truck with pretty much everything needed, but perhaps a different color....There were/are a lot of dealers that used family members names on retail orders to get a few lot truck in, my dealer included....

My next project will be selling my 2007.5 Dodge diesel with 99,000 miles on it. Everything I'm seeing is telling me it should go for around $28,000.

In the right condition, I'm sure it will... My dealer had a 2005 F350 W/ 6.0 that was traded.. it sold in 1 day...
