New 2015 F350 is coming together.

Picked her up November 26th and she is now about all fixed up to suit my needs.

I feel the 6.2 suits my needs just right. I have a 7.3 powerstroke and for longer trips its a better choice but for my daily driver the gas makes much more sense. So far I couldn't be more pleased. Great power with the 6.2L, quiet, fast warm-up and very comfortable.





2015 F350 SuperCab Lariat with 8' box and all available factory option except tailgate step and garage remote.

It's crazy how the ruby red changes colors in different light.

My mods include :
35" Toyo A/T II (285/75R18) Speedo re-calibrated and TPS adjusted
Rigid Industries 20" combo light bar in bumper
Led ditch lights on running boards
Led auxiliary back-up lights
Recon mirror lights
Front and rear TicNiq auxiliary marker/turn lights
Husky-liner floor mats
Husky-liner mud flaps
Spray-in Polyshield SS-100 hot-mix arctic grade bedliner
Stall-mat heavy duty rubber cut to fit bed
Window tint
Oil and transmission pan heaters
Viair compressor
UWS Black cross-bed toolbox
Trimax Razor adjustable hitch with dual ball








Still to come:
Firestone Ride-rite
Air Lift wireless compressor for the Ride-rite
StableLoads
Torklift camper tie-downs
Super-hitch

You know... It just looks *right* with those 285's on there. Wish the factory used those. Even looks right with the OEM deep front air dam on it.

And as always, SuperCab with an 8 foot bed - the best.

Trucks looking great, heck fire it's beautiful. But that snow has got to go. Sitting here just south of Dallas and I would almost swear that all that snow in the photos made the temp drop here in the house by a degree or two.

Is there a option that isn't so deep? I was kicking around a little sawzall modification.

I swapped mine with the front air dam from the 2WD version of the Super Duty. In my mind it doesn't look as goofy as the lower one they use on the 4WD versions. It's purely for aesthetics, I probably get worse gas mileage as a result. This is sort of what it looks like from the side. I wanted it to look OEM which is why I didn't cut up the original one.

I always wanted to know what 285/75/18's looked like without a lift. Definitely a must buy for me now. The light bar in the bumper has a real clean look. Just right.

Beautiful truck Crumm. Do you have 3.73 or 4.30 gears? I just bought a 2012 and am going to need tires in about 6 months and have been researching what size to go with, but this post answered my question.

Mr. Crumm

What route did you take to fix the "Speedo re-calibrated and TPS adjusted".

Programmer, dealer or ? Thanks.

Toyo A/T's

Beautiful Truck Crumm - we're kind of headed down the same path! I bought a 2015 Super Cab Short Bed in October to carry my Eagle Cap 850 slide-in. I had 37X13.5R17 Toyo M/T's on my '08 Diesel with a 4" lift and they were AWESOME in the snow. How are the Toyo A/T2's in the snow? I want just a little more width and more aggressive tread than the Michelins.

Here's where I am with mine based on your list:

- 35" Toyo A/T II (285/75R18) Speedo re-calibrated and TPS adjusted - Stock Michelins still
- Rigid Industries 20" combo light bar in bumper - HornBlasters 4 Trumpet Air Horns in Bumper
- Led ditch lights on running boards
- Led auxiliary back-up lights - HID Aux Backup Lights
- Recon mirror lights - stock
- Front and rear TicNiq auxiliary marker/turn lights - DDM Tuning LED's
- Husky-liner floor mats - Ditto
- Husky-liner mud flaps
- Spray-in Polyshield SS-100 hot-mix arctic grade bedliner

- Stall-mat heavy duty rubber cut to fit bed - Commercial Rubber Bed Mat
- Window tint - Coming
- Oil and transmission pan heaters
- Viair compressor - Ditto
- UWS Black cross-bed toolbox
- Trimax Razor adjustable hitch with dual ball

- Firestone Ride-rite - Ditto
- Air Lift wireless compressor for the Ride-rite - Manual Valves in Gas Door
- StableLoads - ditto
- Torklift camper tie-downs
- ditto
- Super-hitch - Front Receiver also
Additional...
- Color matched front grill surround and painted inner grille pieces black (early FX4 Style)
- Color Matched front Ford emblem to grille (black/white)
- Hellwig 1 1/2" Rear Sway Bar

- 6" Hella Driving Lights on top of front bumper - coming





Keep up the good work... truck looks sweet!
