Guess Ford understands marketing significantly more than me "Quilted French stitched Truffle leather"

It's not in the junkyard-therefore doubtful he will pick it up..............
It's a nice truck. It's a shame Ford can't seem to make the exhaust brake on these work better.
Oh, yea baby! That's what I'm talking about.
That's not a work truck. That is for the guy that just bought a 38' gooseneck camping trailer, thinks an F350 just isn't big enough to pull it with, and wants to ride in the lap of luxury when he is vacationing. No reason to step down from the luxury and power of the S 580 that is the daily driver.

Unless he buys it for his wife to drive.
OK. It's one step before a junkyard. A vehicle an insurance deemed they would rather pay out than get involved with fixing. There are a very few gems at auto auctions-very few.

When I inquired about availability, the dealer said they had received a wire transfer for the full amount, and a ten percent dealer markup in addition to the list price, taxes, and fees, for a total of $131k USD. I asked who the buyer was, they said some guy named Pablo from far Northern Washington state. Next I asked what was this Pablo guy going to use the truck for, the salesman stated "he wants the truck to ride in style and the lap of luxury to his weekly pickleball game". I then asked the salesman if Pablo asked him any question, the only question asked by Pable was "what kind of Amsoil does the truck need?" Connecting the dots, the buyer must be Bitog's very @Pablo .

Maybe the leather is made from truffle pigs?

Wasn’t that from a tannery in your state …?
Regardless of “marketing” - seems it was real leather …
Nobody should put kids in that truck over truffle leather! Goodness it’s McDonalds fry time with kids - even once they are out of the house, there are still French fries roaming around in all of the places. I mean, beautiful truck, but that fits in terms of financial means either with very well-off, or very high-debt. A 450 dually would be an awful daily driver, regardless of the leather, and it probably has the same cheap plastic guides under the seat cushion that snap and cause it to sag at 5 years old. (I have the T-shirt). Now, if it showed up in my driveway???…. I’d probably take it to the dealer and down trade. A nice 150 would be fine. Or a 250 if I didn’t care about handling as much.
Precisely my thoughts. Even when buying a premium brand, you're often just getting vinyl with some Fancy Schmancy name designed to dupe buyers into thinking they're getting something properly upmarket – like SensaTec on a BMW. As if it weren't enough that prices are through the roof and we're largely getting iPads on wheels, they have to strip away any actual luxury too.
Vinyl used to be reserved for fleet vehicles, like police cars, not $100,000+ luxury SUVs.
