I just picked her up today so she will be getting a full fluid replacement
2011 transmissions had issues and flash updates.
I'd make sure your's is up to date.

That's really impressive and great to see! Are your miles mainly highway or a mix?

I don't think I'll ever haul or tow anything that will even come close to the weight of that flat bed.

And when I see that pic I want some chicken and fried okra.

I love threads like this. Really makes me miss my 2015 F350 with the 6.2l. I put 2800 miles on mine before I ended up selling it. Having an F150 before it, I just couldn't get past the super duty interior. Now with the 2017's I can have the best of both worlds, the interior like my previous F150, but the capabilities of the super duty. Can't wait to order one.

when you get to 999,999 the odometer won't turn over. It has to be reset by dealer. They should give you an award, but they will probably give you a bill.
