Three years ago.....
On 12/23/2010 I took ownership of my F-350 Lariat dually. Three years later I can honestly say it's the best truck I've ever owned! Great power and fuel economy,hauls our camper effortlessly.Bumper to bumper coverage expiring and no ESP purchased, I feel confident in this vehicle. Looking forward to many years of traveling with our camper!

Congrats! I've pretty much had the same experience with mine. It was three years in early October and I've been beyond bumper to bumper coverage for over a year now. In fact the 60,000 mile powertrain will done for in about 2 months. Hopefully it stays as faithful as it has been so far!

3 years coming up in June here. Ticker is at 49k so far and going strong. Great truck, its been a lot of places, and has made a lot of memories happen. It still does all that just fine! I do have the 7yr/125k Premium ESP though. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
On a side note, I filled up the fuel tank today and as I usually do I mark down my totals. My Trip B meter has never been reset. No one touched it in the couple miles it went from the factory to the dealer and I never touched it either. It shows just shy of 3,000 gallons of fuel and 16.8mpg. Before my trip this weekend it was 16.9mpg, but due to the mountains and crawling at 5mph though the snow it went down. For as heavy of a truck as it is, 16.8mpg is not too bad at all. My 6.4 wouldn't touch that within a couple mpg.
