New truck!

Hello everybody, I'm new here and new to Ford trucks in general. I just picked up a 2013 F250 and I'm looking forward to learning a lot! Here's my new truck and my previous one

Nice truck. Congrats!!! Welcome to the forum. What made you ditch the Bow Tie? Is that a LSU tag on the Chevy?

Thanks guys. Yep, that's an LSU plate! I live in Ponchatoula, La. I decided to make the switch because it was time for a new truck and I really just didn't like the interiors in the new 2015 GM HD's. I've done a lot of research and found that Ford finally seems to have the diesel thing figured out with the 6.7. That coupled with the fact that I like the Ford truck better inside and out overall, here I am.

I live in Ms. But work out of Houma, or that's where my shop is, like most everyone else around here, oilfield! You will love the Ford.

Thanks! True but I joined before I was 100% sure I was getting a Ford haha plus it's easy to remember since it's my username on other forums.

I guess you could say I work in the oilfield to some degree, I'm a desk jockey at Shell/Motiva in Norco.

This is probably a really stupid question but how do you edit your signature on here? I don't see it under "quick links" which is where it's generally located on other forums.

I think you have a post"threshold" that you have to reach, not real sure. Go to the user CP and look at the column on the far left, you should have user settings to allow you to edit your signature, etc.

Welcome to FTE. As I recall, you have to be a member for at least 10 days to get the option for a basic signature,

Nice truck!!

Ok guys thanks for the help and the compliments! I'm definitely enjoying the truck so far, all the little things inside make the biggest difference. I love the ventilated seats and the whole infotainment system.

Well that's relative, coming from a 13.4xx CC Dmax and 11.8xx RC Dmax lol but it's definitely plenty from a stock truck. Especially considering how quiet and refined the package is as a whole.
