Well we made it back from the trip. 4317 miles later and till no message to add DEF fluid. I did take a gallon with me just in case the DEF warning popped up mid trip. So that puts me at 6262 miles on the truck on the original fill. It seems the dealer did top the tank off upon delivery. +1 for the dealership. I made a video of some of the sights we visited and posted it on Youtube. It doesn't really show much of the truck, but it was fun to play with editing and such. South Dakota 2012.

Thanks to all for the info on DEF.

Looks like you enjoyed yourselves. Living out here in the wild wild west, I sometimes take for granted the natural beauty. While I don't live in SD, I do live right next door and my wife and I spend a lot of time (and $$$) playing in the Black Hills.

Almost to 7000 miles and the DEF monitor still just says under 1/2 full. I want to see how far I can go before I get the 800 mile warning. I purchased the fill nozzle from FORD. I thought I read that when full, the fluid will just stop pouring and will not overflow the tank. Is this true when topping off? Just curious what will happen when I up-end a 5 gallon jug and the tank only needs 2 gallons to be topped.
