Finally ordered one!

Thanks to everyone for all of your fabulous posts about this truck. I appreciate the years of experience and advice that are shared on this forum frequently.

I've been looking to purchase a truck for years, this is my first! Don't need a truck, just love them - especially the Fords. They're also handy for hauling things now and again. I love sitting up off the road (currently driving a Ford Focus). Love the leg room (I'm 6'3" and 250 lbs. - currently driving a Ford Focus). Also brings back the nostalgia of driving to the job site with my dad when I was a kid. I hope to create the same nostalgia with my kids even though I won't be driving to the same places or hauling the same things that my dad did.

Its been a long time in coming. Now I'll only have to wait a few more months. In the mean time I'll continuing reading your posts.

Thanks again Gentlemen!

F250 6.7L Diesel CrewCab, Lariat Black with Black interior, Ultimate package

Congratulations on your choice. I ordered mine Nov 15 and got it Monday. Only have 243 miles on it so far. My son caught me in the garage today listening to the Sirius while about half asleep. He just laughed, probably thought his Dad had lost his mind. Sure was fun, think I'll do it again tomorrow.

I ordered one just like it last Monday. Already spent another $3K on accessories so far. Don't want it to look too much like anybody elses.

Now we wait.................

I have not owned a truck in 20 years. Bought a new fiver for retirement traveling last year. I waited for this truck to come out ( the trailer was parked in a campground). I am glad I waited because, I LOVE THIS TRUCK. Now, I drive it almost full time and I told my wife it would be used mainly for towing. I can't stay out of it.
