Very nice. I am getting ready to go to a new 6.7 myself in the near future as I reach the end of the ESP warranty. I've even upsold a friend of mine from his F150 all the way to a F350 DRW, so it appears we may be ordering a pair of trucks come Q1 or so.

It has been pretty good so far. I think you will be pleased.

Hi Senix,
So by rough count you've probably just passed the 1st (100) days of the new machine ownership, wondering how the truck has been in the first 3+ months.

And a merry Christmas by the way.

Truck has been just fine. I have a little over 4200 miles on it. 3 snows and several tows and lots of hauling.

I have NOT been in for any warranty repairs.

The only issue I have is every once in awhile upon startup I have no audio. Shut the radio off and back on again restores it. I think there is a flash for that but I don't have time right now to take it in.

Tow/haul is the only other area that is not as good with the 6.4. I think it is due to the turbos. They don't have nearly the back pressure as the 6.4. Towing heavy in manual mode instead does just fine.

Then use tow/haul and drive for the lighter stuff or flats. Manual mode for the mountains.

So overall I give it a B+.

There may be hope though. I hear the '15 model year they are going back to an honest to (insert favorite deity) F-450 instead of the watered down version they have now. If they're willing to do that, maybe someone will see the light on those flairs as well.

At least with the newer rear dually fenders(I didn't like at first, but are growing on me), I can reach my 5th wheel hitch without at step stool. And I'm 6' tall!
