Smile 1st tow, wow!!!
Just towed my 10k lb boat for the 1st time. All I can say is wow! Couldn't even feel it behind me compared to my f250 5.4. was able to accelerate up hills like I wasn't towing. Very happy with my new truck!!!

There is no substitution for a diesel when towing. Nothing tows like a diesel period. Congrats on your first tow.

Head into the mountains with 16-20k behind you and look at yourself in the mirror when you top the mountain at >60 mph. It takes a while to get rid of the Joker face!

Congrats on the new truck and welcome aboard.

You will come to find out sooner or later so I just as well tell you now, we like pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. In fact some of us won't believe you until we, I mean they, see pictures.

If you go to the main page where all the threads are listed, there is one at the very top of the column titled 'how to post pictures' or something like that.

A lot of us Photobucket, which is a photo hosting website. You upload to Photobucket, then copy the image link and post it in your post.
