Lol heavy throttle has never been a problem

And would definitely like the creature comforts, as would the wife. Personally I can live without heated seats, but the cooled ones sure would be nice in the hot summers, esp with dark leather.

 

I also use my truck to commute, 36 miles one way to the shop plus bouncing around town to different jobs. Truck see's 80-100 miles a day so I know it gets plenty hot and I use the skinny pedal a few times just to let this beast breath.

Since a lot of my driving is city my truck will avg 15.5-16 mpg it also regens every 200-250 miles which hurts the overall mpg. Now when I am straight hwy running 70-75 it will hit the upper teens no problem. I did a trip earlier this year all hwy with 5 full adults and a bed full of luggage...truck avg 19.5-20mpg

I dont tow all the time but when I do its a 28' enclosed trailer to yank my car around. Loaded with tools supplies and my car it comes in around 9k pounds. I had to pull it yesterday and I was smiling the entire time. Prior to my '15 I had a '12 with the 6.2 gasser. Now my gasser pulled my trailer fine with no problems. But you had to pay attention and anticipate accelerating in situations and it would down shift a lot and did not like 6th. With this truck its absolutely effortless....no white knuckle driving at all. It will pull hills in 6th which is just amazing! The power is always there and takes little effort to move the load. The braking and exhaust break make such a big difference. Now I don't tow all the time but when I do the extra money I spent on this truck is worth every penny.

So far I love this truck, however I do have the temperamental valve knocking issue that is supposedly getting a re-flash in March to correct it. We will see what that's actually about. Fortunately its something I can make stop doing when it starts to act up. Other than that the truck has been problem free

 

my observations:
1. I keep records of all fuel purchased.
2. Wife would rather travel in our truck than our Buick!
3. We make a 700 mile trip (1 way) a few times per year...I try to maintain a speed of 78 mph...all trips have between 18.1 to 18.7mpg (Pencil calculations) for I-state portions. (Fill ups that include combined city I-state is between 14.5 to 16.5mpg)
3. Towing a 12,000 lb 5-W at about 70 mpg I get 10.5 to 11.5, depending on conditions.
4. If I slowed down some I think I could improve on these numbers

 

I had a 6.0 that I was extremely happy with. I made the "mistake" of driving a new 6.7 and less than a week later I bought it. The new ones are amazing. I honestly test drove one to make sure I would hate it and justify keeping my 2007 6.0. That all changed after the test drive.

 

I was in the same situation, I loved my 7.3 and the truck it was in.
I thought I was attached to it but as soon as I got my new one I never even thought of going back!

 

Update. Was originally looking at a 2012 but that one got away before I could talk myself into pulling the trigger. So now almost 3 months later I bit the bullet and traded in the old 7.3 F350 on a 2015 F250 6.7. Cannot get over how much nicer this one is and it is beyond unbelievable how much quieter it is inside and outside the truck!

 

pics? Congrats.

 

Congratulations! We need pictures for sure.

You are not the first to take the expensive test drive, or the last....

I loved my 7.3, but this 6.7 and the new trucks are so much nicer.
Enjoy.
Pat

 

Congrats!! You did good getting a '15. The new exhaust brake is almost worth it by itself. Plus the new turbo, new programming for a few issues that needed cleaning up etc. Best of luck with it, and yes, do post pics with details on trim level etc, and check back in soon with your review of it after a few thousand miles.

 

Congrats!
I love my '15 for lots of reasons. What I didn't expect is that sometimes I almost miss the old diesel typewriter sound


Since it drives like a gasser and is almost as quiet as a gasser it is truly a different driving experience.

 

Congrats on the new truck!

 

Congrats on your new truck. I love my 6.7. I had a 2011, but was scared of the reports and was planning to pull a 5th wheel full time; so I traded it in on a 2015. What a difference. The exhaust brake when towing is a blessing. The truck seems to have more power and runs great. The 2011 had me in the shop a few times, but the 2015 has been faultless, so far.
I'm always in awe when I see the MPG claims some make. I average about 9 MPG when towing my 16500 pound 5th wheel camper and get between 12 to 15 for average driving. I have seen 17 MPG when running about 60 MPH on a country road. That seems to be the "sweet spot" for the Dually.

 

Would love to see pics. Traded my Ecoboost for a '15 F-250 6.7. Great truck, 20.5 mpg on the trip to the dealer to trade for the F-350 dually. 19.5 on the trip home. I think you will be very pleased with the 6.7. I for one don't mind the emission system. It would drive my wife nuts if the truck stunk like the old diesels and was covered with black soot. You can stand at the exhaust pipe and not smell diesel. Great truck!

 

I went from an 04 KR to 16 KR dually. I went over to my brothers house to show off the new truck we have travelled a lot riding quads all over and he thought my new truck was a gasser that is how quite the ride is. I love the electronics I downloaded all of my music onto a 32 GB usb stick and the system plays all of the music without a problem. The remote start is bad *** also. I am getting around 17.5 freeway and 13 around town. I added a 75 gallon external tank so the weight went up.

 

I came from a 6.0l so a big change for me. Like the guys have mentioned, its a lot more powerful, very quiet, that was the biggest one for me and just all around fun to drive! Your going to have complaints from your better half that your spending too much time with your truck lol!...it will happen. And payments!?.....won't matter after you get your truck...you'll see lol. .
