Yeah, I can't wait Roy.

We love the beach and we've actually been thinking about making this year's outing a two week vacation. The kids are only young once.

Great MPG with a slight tail wind and going 65 mph on the way to Vegas with the family. Looking for a trailer this weekend to take the family to the sierras fishing. Thanks for your help showing me how to upload the pictures.

John - This is a great thread!
Darren - Looks like your going need another trip to bubbles.
Sailor - I wanna be where you are.

I get to spend 5 hours in the truck tomorrow, we are going to Indy and visit my mom. I'm going to take it easy and see if I can hit the 21 MPG mark for the round trip.
Just have to keep telling myself; keep it under 70, keep it under 70, keep it under 70, keep it under 70...

I can't wait...49 days 2 hours and 34 minutes and counting until we head to Colorado for 3 weeks.
The wife does not like it when I get north of 75 pulling the fiver, but it's just so darn easy to do with this truck.

Yah. Obstacle course avoiding fallen tree branches this morning. Major roads backed up going 5km/h. I put the gear shifter into M-1 and idled down the road. 'M' mode actually locks up in all gears, very cool feature. Walterdale Hill:


Hopefully it all melts away this weekend so I can do my oil change soon.

Thanks Gavin! And thanks to all of you for keeping it going!

I wanted a thread to say how much I enjoy driving my truck and how happy I am with it. It has blossomed into a fantastic thread with stories from all of my friends and it's outstanding.

Now there's a great idea! In the Super Duty forum, we've got a "Truck Dog" thread where everyone posted pictures of their dogs. We should do that in this thread too.

Man, I don't envy you guys at all.

I love Canada and really hope to get there one day soon but I don't think it will be in anything but warm weather.


That said, today was absolutely fantastic! We decided it was a great day for a ride in the country. We packed up the kids and headed out down Route 52 past the Blue Ridge Parkway and into North Carolina. We went through Mount Airy and went up Pilot Mountain and hit all of the little towns along the way. We're going back in a week or so and I'll try to snap a couple of pics then.

Along the way, Mrs. powerstroke72 kept commenting about how nice it was to ride in the truck and how much she liked it. She loves how quiet and smooth it is and she loves the seats. And just for reference, her vehicle is a 2007 Yukon Denali so she's got a nice ride of her own.

I love my truck!!



EDIT: I tried to drop reps to everyone in appreciation for posting in here and keeping the thread alive. Oh and thank you to whomever rated it 5 stars!
