Better than I could have ever hoped for, better factory trailer brake controller better shifting transmission, way better handling even when hooked to a trailer, more cab space, my 2010 cummins had 230 ft lbs more torque, so it pulled harder, MPGS for 8,000 miles 4,000 of it towing is 13.8mpgs on the Eco, MPGS for the cummins 12,000 miles 4,100 towing the same stuff was 12.4mpgs diesel was been $.75 to $1.20 higher. My 2004 ram cummins was 14.9mpgs

How do you like driving your new f350? I drive a 2012 f250 6.2 for work, and fell I sit up to high in it compared to my f150.

Love it. It's a Platinum. The 6.7 is awesome. I just added a tuner and all I can say is wow!

Wish I had the ***** to void the warrantee on a $60k plus truck, what's the worst that could happen?

Meh, it's not really an issue if you don't over do it but if you crank the boost to 50psi and run Max performance and stomp on it constantly you'll probably have an issue, haha! Besides I've had 3 previous new Fords and never had a single issue with any of them. It's not a Dodge or Chevy, warranty isn't essential, haha! (I'll probably blow it up now having said that)

Is that a regular pull? Or a one time deal. Either way.... Wow

Probably pull this 10 to fifteen times a year, less then a fifty mile round trip! Still can't believe how well it handles it! I traded skids last month, my new skid weights 11,400lbs + 4000lb trailer = 15,400lbs

Damn Grussing, Ford should just use you for their commercials! These are probably the heaviest loads i have seen handled by an F-150 (not talking short 1 mile pulls). Hopefully weight police stay away from this one for at least a while. Curious to know more about your truck since it has endured alot so far:

Odometer miles; GVWR; oil used, frequency of change, other fluid changes; maintenance problems so far; upgrades; etc.

thanks in advance.

That's some big loads you pull with that thing. Nicely done
