New Truck :)

Picked her up 3 weeks ago... 2010 Black F-250 SC SB Lariat... 800 miles so far! Stock except for general grabber htz tires ... Cant wait until I can save my pennies for the spartan setup.. but for now LOVING this as an upgrade to my 06 6.0! I cant wait to tow my camper with this thing it seems to have so much more power than my old truck... it will hold overdrive on a slight incline at 45mph empty which seems very impressive to me. So far averaging 13mpg with most of my driving being cruising around the 45mph mark.

PICS!

congrats..but you know you have to show pics too! By now you should be able to hook up to that trailer and take for a test run. Watch your speed as this motor will allow you to be in the left lane.

nice looking! So you are not driving it now? With that 6.4 you don't want it sit for more that a couple weeks without driving it. And then get it good and warm with say a 50 mile drive.

I still do drive it... I have a work truck I drive to work and this is just my personal truck... It gets a few miles here and there and definitely at least one 50 mile run once a week.

Great. Do follow the severe duty maint schedule. Learn how to check your oil using the short stick method and check your fluids weekly.

Will do! I hate the idea of fuel in my oil in the worst way... Other than that I love everything about how this truck runs!

I don't make oil in mine. Trick is going to be your use. When regening you need to be traveling at a higher speed than city driving.

Your truck looks great, same as mine. Love the black. I took off the 4X4 stickers on the back of mine. I like the clean look. You will be blown away when you tow! The mirrors are da bomb!

when I tow my 7000lb enclosed car trailer behind mine, it holds cruise at 70, uphill. get solid 12.5 around town, and 10.5 towing.. solid as a rock.. and, yes, the mirrors are amazing.. (08, 350, drw, 4.10 rear), and Tow/Haul rocks..

I like it!! Almost identical to mine except I like your grill more!

These trucks turn heads on the road! Why would you buy a Chevy? They just don't hold a candle.
