New Truck

Just picked her up last week, been doing a lot of research on here before I made a decision and test drove all the big 3 diesels and decided to get the Ford. Really like the platinum white color, the horse power and torque is great compared to 08 duramax, very comfortable, cant wait to tow the toy hauler with her in 10 days to see how she does, really appreciate the good info here on the forum.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there..

very nice!!!! that was my 1st choice for color but I couldn't find one anywhere in driving range with black leather and the FX4 and a few other things. Very happy with my Red now that I got it. My last 4 cars/or trucks were white. It was time for a change. Anyway Congrats its AWSOME enjoy

Check the manual, dont you need 1000 miles before towing, better rack em up, break in the rear gear set.

Very nice, I'm kinda partial to that color as well. Mine is the first white vehicle I have ever owned, and I love it. It's always clean, even when it's dirty. Good luck with it, I still look forward to driving mine everyday.

Manual says 500 miles before you tow, I waited till 1000, well I towed my 5er from storage to the house at about 700 miles to work on it.

Nice truck, I have never owned a Ford truck that was not white, Enjoy.

nice truck

love the truck, white is what i wanted, but I also couldnt find a white one any where in the area with the options i wanted, got red instead, like red, but white always seem clean looking all the time, as for the truck, never had another like it, Just love it, went from central pa to buffalo new york (empty) and got 21 miles to the gallon going up, and 23 coming home, love it, love it !!! 8000lbs, runs like a race car, whats not to love?
