Picked up my new platinum yesterday, I'd forgotten how smooth they ride when new! Still not happy about losing the hard drive in my radio though. Ford was not able to remove my 1200 plus tunes out of my 2011 hard drive, if anyone has a solution to download I'm happy to hear. Ford tried but there is some copyright agreement that prevents removing them off the hard drive.

Im looking to be getting into a new plat. Sellin my 2010 dodge for something like this. I personally am not worried about internal storage cause i us a ipod. I honestly have seen the 13 plats and love it. The interior is so much better nad the dodge doesnt even have fold flat seats UNLESS its a mega and mine was a crew and the seats in it sit too high and arent really all that comfortable. The truck looks good but honeslty never really liked the interior. Ive been through the works on the engine and have lost the time and wants to make it faster. That and i dont wanna take it out to make it to the 1000hp it could be and mainly I WANNA DRIVE IT MORE OFTEN. I will say i love the styling and its like having a escalade with a diesel engine. I am going to look at a GMC denali but i highly doubt ill like it being my mother has a 2012 tahoe and its a LTZ loaded and it hate it really bad. Heres a question. Is there a option for bucket rear seats on the f series anymore? I think that used to be one

Update after 950 kms (6 days old)
1. Check engine light on and showing "running at reduced power"
2. 4 x 4 refusing to engage.
This is why I got rid of my '11. The 4 x 4 never worked well and it had the check engine light on for the first year I owned it. Kicking myself for not buying the duramax.

It was 31 below last night and the fuel gelled up. Conditioner helped the situation. I was really worried that I was having the same issues as my '11. The 4x4 is another issue. Hopefully not a big issue.

Well it never gets that cold here. Ivehonestly found it weird that ive posted on several ford forums and havent got very many replys. The cummins forum was always full for guys willing to throw an op about stuff. doesnt appear too much goes on round here.
