Saw my first "Black Widow" F150 !

I didn't even know there was one !

You buy an F150, your trim level, then Ford sends the truck to another location and gets it converted.

I priced a new Raptor, loaded, $78K, without the Black Widow Kit, what that costs I do not know but im guessing another 20L.

Hoping when the Computer Chips come in the prices will drop.

Once the price goes up it never comes down.

The "Black Widow" F150 is similar to the Roush program. They take a 4x4 where they change the suspension, wheels, grill, add scoops, and interior work. They are Ford approved mods so the warranty stays intact. With the dealers adding $2500 to $10,000 to suggested retail now is not the time to be buying a truck.

I have pricing a new F350. What I want is available to be built by Ford but you can't find anything close to the configuration: Extended cab XLT with 7.4 Godzilla engine. Add in uplifter switches, running boards, XLT upgrade, center console/bucket seats, XLT Value package, and gooseneck prep w/ hitch. It is a $53K truck. I cannot find an extended cab F350 with a 7.4L within 500 miles and none of the dealers are taking any orders.

On another note, I can also go into the F250 and configure it the same way but I have to add some options that are standard on the F350. I have tried a few different configs and the F350 has been a cheaper truck to build than the F250. As strange as that was I tried it with a F150 but used the 5.0L with all options like the F350 and it was about $4500 more coming in at $58K.

I just priced out an F250, quite a few options, I expected it to come in around the 55K+ but it was 48K, I haven't gone to the Dealer yet but thinking it might be a good time to buy an F250 instead of the F150 especially with the Black Widow Kit.

With the extra money and the F250, some aftermarket mods and I could come out with a decent package.

I checked out the F150 Limited, the base price went up 9K this year... not in my budget.

$50K is about it, IF I decide I'm going for it, but i'm hoping when the chips come in prices on trucks will be dropping because there will be so many; Ford can only keep so many held back, to keep prices up !
