It has been very reassuring to see a lack of serious problems with the new 6.7 Engines Posted here. My previous Truck had one of the earliest 2010 built 6.7s, and I stopped checking into this site because all of the Horror Stories made me too Nervous. Although my 11 only had 48K on the Clock when traded, and had never given me any problems I was Paranoid every time that I drove it waiting for that Sound or "Pull Over" message. Now with a Fresh 2016 and a new Warranty we're planning some long trips. Oh by the way, I don't tow, or haul anything. Just like to drive big Trucks and Diesels. So basically my Truck is a 8000lb, 440hp, Grocery Getter.

 

Nice color.

You must need a LOT of groceries.

 

Mine is a daily driver, that I really enjoy driving. Even more when I hook up the rv. Love the color.

 

Nice new truck. My dually is a daily too, also pulls my trailer.

 

I see sometimes people mention the tare weight of their trucks , I'm curios if it's a guess or actual? And how the ford weighs compared to the " other guys". My F350 CCLB weighs in at 9600lbs full of fuel, my buddies chev about 8000lbs, and my F550 regular cab flat deck tips scale at 12,500lbs

 

Mine too... Never had a trailer connected to my 2015. We take plenty of trips with the beast. 15,000 miles in my first year of ownership and work is only 9 miles away. There is so much room for me and the wife, two dogs, and a cat. Makes a great road vehicle. Loves to go 80mph too... (one of the reasons I don't have a magical 20+ mpg truck)

bruce...

 

Nice truck, I think you'll find many people who also simply prefer to drive such a vehicle rather than those who outright "need" it.

 

Even if I didn't tow, I couldn't go back to a 1/2 ton truck. Once you go diesel or 3/4 it's hard to go back.

 

Oh what a feeling to me means: Having a reliable truck that's paid for.




Good luck....

 

Wish I had made this point. Yes, an F150 drives and rides like an SUV to me. The F250 looks, acts, and feels like a truck. I like that.

 

We take ours on long road trips more often then we would take the car.


Versatility in the truck. very little in a car.

 

I dunno. I drove my father's F-150 5.0L yesterday; it was nice! Very quick throttle response, more solid-feeling brakes, more responsive handling, roomier crew cab, and better ride. I love my truck, but despite the massive power and torque of the 6.7, the F-150 is quicker. Obviously I keep buying Super Duties when I could probably get by with an F-150, so apparently I like the Super Duty better. There is no doubt the SD is more heavy duty, but the 150 is quite well built if you lay underneath.

 

2017 SD will fix a lot of the downsides of the current SD.


Same cab is the plan now.

 

You're probably right. I'll probably buy one, too. But really, we get spoiled. The comfort and power level of the most basic current-gen Super Duty is spectacular compared to the good 'ole days.

 

Congrats nipperdog... I don't pull all that often with mine either. We do go on long trips with it though. Like others I went Diesel years ago and tried to go back to a gasser only to trade in within a year back into a diesel.

I agree that it looks like 2017 is going to be a game changer for the SD...
