Its Been a Year +

Its been a year. I still can't believe what a Monster of a truck this thing is. It is way more then I need for pulling; BUT IT WAY NICE to have. The fuel millage is not bad. I have 14 k on the clock, with lots of heavy long towing, IT IS BY FAR the best truck I have driven.

Thanks FORD

Thanks also for the GOOD reading I get from ford-trucks.

With all the issues that naturally get brought up here it is nice to hear how well yours is performing. I don't quite have a year in yet and just past the 10,000 mile point but so far this is the best truck I have owned in 30+ years.

Mike

For reference, I just rolled over 30k, and it was 2 years ago nearly to the day that I took possession from Covert Ford up in Austin, who were fantastic to deal with. That's 15k/yr, which is more than I anticipated, and I hate that I'm wearing out that extended warranty (100k/6yr) so quickly, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I just turned over 56k miles on mine. I had a major electrical meltdown 13 months ago that was an absolute fluke. I have loved every minute I've had with my truck.

I also have an 11. Just rolled over 24k miles and I've had it for almost 3 years. No major issues and I've towed a 26' trailer quite a few times. I did install some bilstein 5160 shocks on it though lol. I love this truck!

A year and a half and I still can't wait to drive it every day. I just turned 58,000 and not a single problem.

This truck pulls, hauls, offroads and flat moves!!! Oh and it gets great mpgs! What more can I ask for?

Hands down the best truck I've ever owned!

Cheers to the 6.7
