Hello Everyone....New member here. Been following the 6.7 forums for about a year now, but never joined. I have been a Dodge 5.9 man since 1999. I have owned a 99' 2003' 2005' 2007 all 2500 5.9 Cummins 4X4. In 2011 I purchased a new 6.7 Dodge Mega Cab dully and quickly realized it was NO 5.9!! So in Oct 2012 I purchased a 2012 F250 FX4 Lariat. That is when I began following the forum to learn more from real Ford 6.7 owners. Thanks for all the useful information! So this past week I purchased a 2013 F350 dully. Added all my extras and decided it was time to join the forum. After following the forum this past year I know yall love pictures, so here are a few.

Here is my 2013 F350 4X4 Lariat
Road Armor Front and Rear bumpers
12,000 lb warn winch
BDS dual steering stabilizer
PIAA front and rear lights
Recon smoked Cab and Side marker lights
Waiting on Recon Raised Emblems to come in
2.5' Front 2' Back Ready Lift
35 x 12.50 x 17 Nitto Trail Grapplers
Transfer Flow Trax II 50 gallon / Toolbox combo Aux tank
Ford Factory installed 5th wheel/gooseneck prep kit

Nice truck...the big tire dually look is cool..
just wanted to ask though, what prompted you to switch from the 6.7 Cummins? i've been thinking about going the other way.. 6.7 Ford -> 6.7 Cummins...I'm tired of this sensor going out, then that sensor, and so forth on my F350..

70% of the reason I switched was due to the dealership.I have bought every truck since 1999 from this dealership and all from the same salesman. So we had a great customer relationship. My turbo went out 2 times and the ECM went 1 time on the 2011 Dodge Cummin 6.7. Each time I had a problem with the Dodge it would take the dealership 3-5 WEEKS to get my truck back. My trucks are daily drivers not work horses. The dealership would say I need to run the truck harder sometime just the blow out turbo and exhaust filters. The 2011 Cummin 6.7 did not use DEF. The other 30% was that there was no comparison in the power between the 5.9 and the 6.7 cummins stock. All of my 5.9 had everything possible done to the motor and trans. To me when I would pull my 5th wheel camper or gooseneck trailer, If I did not keep the Cummin 6.7 above 2100 RPM there was just no power in my opinion. When I test drove my 2012 F250 I was blown away by the stock power and fuel millage. In the year that I have had my 2012 F250 it had never given me a code are any other trouble, knock on wood. And that is why I decided to buy the 2013 F350 dully without even going look at the new Rams

I think you will like the dually when pulling for sure.

that is gorgeous!.. never seen one with those bumpers. really fit nice.. they really complement the truck.. some seem to be more important than the vehicle.

I gotta ask, don't those tires sing going down the road? have you pulled your FW yet? a dually with a 2in lift?!. how high is the front of the FW? I need to lower my hitch as I still have a slight uphill on my dually.

I'm interested in your mileage, mine is 17 as a high, 15 average highway,
9.5 towing my FW.

did you do anything to the 250?

beautiful.. welcome to the club..

I did not do anything to the F250. Wanted to see how I like the Ford 6.7 before dumping money into it just for looks. I also had a 2009 6.4 F250 and only kept it 6 months. No problems with the truck just did not like it.

I have not pulled anything but my 16ft trailer yesterday. MPG seems to be running 10-11 in town and 14-15 on highway. I am fixing to take it on a 4 hr run today. Headed back to the GOM since the hurricane fell apart. So I will be able to tell how it will do on the open road.

I did not take any before or after measurement on the truck since I put tires and lift.

That's a Beast! Congrats on that Sweet truck. Is it me or does the bed look shorter than most LB's? Maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning. Anyway, I'm liking your truck.

I had the same tires on my Dodge dully and the noise was very minimum.

Scott (Senix) and I both measured our duallies, and the top of the rear wheel opening is 41inches from the ground without our trailers..

I had an 08 4x2 dually.. loved it except for the big fuel sucking sound. never got over 13mpg, 9 towing my closed car hauler.

Nice truck!..

Congrats on the new truck and welcome to FTE and the dually club.!

That truck looks freakin awesome! I have almost 40k on mine and the tires will be replaced before next winter. I like the looks of the Nittos. Are those on factory wheels? I love the front bumper and winch. It is one of the best looks I've seen.

Now I got the fever again.

Great looking truck and again, welcome aboard.
