BIG differences between the 2012 and 2013's !!!

but NOT in the engine / tranny - that thing did great on our LONG weekend Thurs thru Sunday.

Wife even towed the 5er for the first time and said how nice it performed !

VERY comfortable seats too for our 14 hour round trip.

and cleans up well:

jdadamsjr, nice rig. I've got the same Platinum F350 in tuxedo black and love it. It pulls my 30' Komfort 5er effortlessly up any hill I've pointed it at. Nice to have the power!

Nice truck. Probably not going to change the engine and trans for a bit yet. Ford has to much money invested to swap it out. Also it seems to be a good combo so far.

That's beautiful. I wish I could travel to the other islands but that isn't really possible with work. Definitely going to hit the wallet hard when I start order parts. Shipping is a killer here. How is the tuxedo black? Good quality paint or does it chip and scratch easy?

I lived on Oahu for six years, that was long ago and it was still expensive then. I'd hate to be feeding diesel to a truck there these days. Visiting Hawaii and living in Hawaii are two totally different things!

Well, so far the only thing wrong with tux black metallic is it gets dirty

and since we liked it so much on the wife's ExSport, we got it on the 350, so have TWO that are that color !!!

We looked at some housing, etc. while we were on the islands and it was astronomical for what you get !

my luck I'd pay for the view and someone would build a McDonalds in between me and the view
