RCSB Experience

[JCsTruck]

I will agree with @Bossharp but not because there is a lot of demand for the RCSB truck, but because the demand that does exist is still greater than the supply that is out there for the RCSB truck, and especially with a V8 engine. I also think demand for a RCSB V8 truck, like the 2023 XLT trim and 2024 trim with 5.0 V8, will be greater in the Southern states than say New England for example, and even if its equipped with 2 Wheel Dr. If you can only get a RCSB truck by special ordering it through Ford and then having to wait for up to 9 months then I can see that also dulling potential sales because many customers wont want to put a $500-$1000 non refundable deposit down and then run the risk of not actually taking delivery for so long.

I personally don't think the 5k premium for 4wd is worth it even in the snow belt where a lot of drivers claim it’s a necessity. Al vehicles have 4 wheels brakes so unless 4wd is used responsibly then I think it gets people in more trouble than its worth.

Non refundable depends upon the sales manager, I have not yet had any problem getting an up front agreement on a 100% refund contingent upon a delivery date agreed to as reasonable at the time I made the deposit. In one circumstance I had to ask for the refund and got it without any fuss.

By the way, if someone likes antimatter blue RCSB in the base trim level there is one sitting at the Carriage Ford dealership near Louisville Kentucky. I'd buy it except that I want fog lights and don't like the steel wheels so ordering what I want at a local dealership was a better deal for me. I have no relationship and very little familiarity with the dealership.

The 2024 2 wheel drive short bed regular cab XL has all the most important options standard this year and is better equipped than any previous year regular cab. Major plus is the 12" center screen and digital dash. That simply was not available before. Most if not all of the new safety tech. One touch power windows cloth seats tilt cruise locks it is NOT a stripper. 5.0 3.73 locker and a tow hitch bed storage all standard. Add privacy glass for a hundred bucks and if you really want chrome bumpers LED fog lights and the work station it's only $1,150.00 more. Pick any color than white lolol!
It's easy and cheep to add leather seats tint and swap higher trim wheels and tires and if you want to paint match the grill and bumpers it will look like a much more expensive 'Sport Truck'..As far as 2 wheel drive loosing higher percentage value I don't think so because it's in a slightly different market segment. It's hard to overcome the additional $5,005.00 MSRP 4×4 costs. This could be the last year or possibly two for a V-8 RCSB. If that happens I'm sure resale value will be strong. There is ALWAYS folks who like a Regular Cab with a V-8..It's really a great general use truck if you don't absolutely need that back seat.

Do you know how hard it would be to change the driver's seat to a 8 way power?
I haven't sat in a RCSB since 2020. That year the seat sat up too high in my opinion. Not sure if 2024 is the same but I'd want power seat and a console swap.

 

[Bossharp]

Lots of folks have added a power driver's seat and console.. But the console is by far more expensive and involved. Still some have added the console fairly cheep. I do know for a 2023 the harness under the seat had all the connections needed. For the 2024 Fleet orders have the option for a power drivers seat so I imagine the harness is the same as the 2023. I believe some have swapped higher trim seats (even leather) from Ebay or CoPart..

Oh, sorry about that. I meant just the armrest that the lid opens.

I just went to Ford build site.
The only options I chose was
Black, 4x2, spray in bed liner.

At the end it breaks down the price.
It only shows $500 incentive.
Isn't there a $2500 incentive at this time?

Be SURE you get a quote from Granger for that build..4% below invoice is just about a unbeatable price. My truck was over $5,000.00 less out the door than any dealership in Florida. Plus if you want a extended warranty they are fifty dollars over dealer cost..

I just commented on the other thread that you've replied too also, ??‍ I'm confused between too many Google pages open at the same time. Lol

2.5 years now w/ 18k as my daily driver and i’m still happy with my decision.

99% of the time it’s just me in the truck so having a crew cab wouldn’t have done much good for myself.

More than enough power, easy to park and pretty decent on gas and I tow a small boat when needed. I did end up with a Cam Locker box for the bed. The size they offered was perfect for the short bed. Everything else took up too much space or was a mini.

That is exactly what I wanted when I wanted to downsize from my 2018 F150 supercab (a couple other issues with it too) but I bought a new Hyundai Santa Cruz thinking it would be big enough but I'm regretting it. I'm going to see about trading it in or selling it and ordering a new regular cab short bed.

This is my first RCSB and I love it! I wanted something I could have fun with but was still practical for me and it checks all the boxes. I only had the ride from the dealer to home in stock form but it was plenty quiet and rode nicer than my GMC even with the shorter wheelbase. Even with the ride tech kit, 22s, and exhaust it's not ridiculously loud in the cab and I think it still rides fine. It's not a Cadillac but it's not rattling my fillings out. I don't know if it's just because it's a "work" truck or if all new Ford's lack any sound deadening but I plan on pulling the seats and floor to do some mat along the back wall and floor which should really quiet it down, not because it needs it but I plan to put carpet in so I figured why not while it's out. Get it you won't regret it and if there's stuff you want to change or little quirks you don't like stuffs really easy to change/add if it's that annoying.

Nice color and nice wheels. More pictures please.

Seeing all these posts with lowered rcsb is making me want to lower my Screw( have small kids). How do you all feel in comparison to other vehicles? I’m stock height and like being higher than most cars.
my wife has a Lincoln MKC that I rarely drive but I feel like I’m so small and close to the ground when I do drive it.

To the OP. I would have considered a rcsb if I didn’t have small kids. Even though I have a screw I do have the v8 and love the sound. I always grin when I put my foot down

For so many decades a Regular Cab truck served America very well. Actually it still does. For so many folks a extended cab truck replaced sedan's station wagons and SUV's..I think for many folks it's still a great choice. The big manufacturer's discourage plain trucks because they are less profitable but as inflation and prices go up and up a simple but basically equipped regular cab works well..at least for me.

Does anyone know what the invoice price would be on a 2024 RCSB 4x2 no options. And 2024 RCSB 4x4 no options?

Currently theres a $2500 rebate correct?

I left an email with chip and one with Granger but I'm assuming it was after hours Friday.

I'm just super anxious just to see what an approximate price I'm looking at.

---DISCLAIMER--- I ordered mine in Sep 2023, so your price will be a little higher.

My 2024 XL RCSB, 4x4, 103A option ($1000), with cloth seats (not an option back then), from Granger, was $41,007, As built price back then was $44,580.

I'm sure you'll hear back from Chip as soon as he can. I have no idea about any rebate offers currently, but Granger Ford will get you any you're eligible for.
