That wasn't nice. Funny - but not nice!

 

All damn good replies! Thanks everybody. Yes, I DO feel better now.

 

The first thing to do is stop reading too much here.

You have a great truck, protect yourself with a warranty and insurance and drive it. This might be the best truck you have ever owned.



I'd like to see a picture of your truck.

bruce....

 

Have Fun and educate yourself..........Dealers Lie!

Enjoy your fine truck...............

 

Yes, please post a pic of your F-350. My F-250 PSD is ordered, and looking at SD's keeps me smiling while I wait for the next status call from my sales consultant.

 

 

I lied. I said I didn't do anything to it. But, I put new 295 Nittos on it. Sits a little higher and no rubbing. Otherwise stock.

 

Nice Truck!!!

Oh and it is not nice to lie to Forum Members LOL.

 

All the heater/heated accessories that come with your nicely-equipped SD sure look like a necessity in your neighborhood, but a little superfluous in mine.

 

What a nice looking truck!!!

 

I had asked a similar question a week or so ago..6.2 vs. 6.7 And here is what I have found, the 6.7 not only meets but exceeds my needs by a wide margin.

Not only that, give all the possible things that could go dramatically wrong based on all the horror stories I have read, heard and imagined.

In the end, all it does is to make me a more responsible owner keeping abreast of all maintenance matters and preventative issues.

Will it be my last new truck purchase.........I don't know. But for the time being, I figure it has a longer lifespan than I most likely do.

 

2013 was a pricy year..........


Looking at your Signature.......

 

After reading this thread, i decided to comment.

I have ridden Honda Gold Wings for 30 years. I sold one of them with 110,000 miles on it. I did nothing but normal maintenance and minor repair to it, changing the oil every 10,000 miles. (It never used any.) My current Wing has 140,000 miles on it with only normal maintenance and a universal joint. (Driveshaft) It uses no oil between 7-8,000 mile changes.

For the past 15-20 years I've been on various Gold Wing forums where a bulk of the conversations are about one major failure or another, which oil you have to use, frequency of changing it, etc. Some of the riders declared that they did 3,000 mile changes. (I don't remeber if they were the ones with the failures... )

I have had company issued trucks for the past 40 years. Most of them weren't replaced until well over 100,000 miles, and every fleet manager has a different idea about service; all of them have exceeded manufacturers recommendations. None of the trucks has had a major failure. For the past 20 years they have been Chevy gassers until the current one, a 2007 Silverado 2500 diesel, which currently has 120,000 miles. I can't have it serviced until the company fleet people authorize it. Consequently, the "change oil" and "change fuel filter" indicators are activated most of the time. Twice it has lost power and I've limped into the dealer So they could replace the fuel filter. I don't even know where the water separator is located. I don't worry about it because, as long as I follow the orders issued by fleet, if it does break down all it costs me is some inconvenience while I wait for a tow truck (and I'm getting paid to wait.) There have not been any major failures with any of the other diesels in my work group, and some of them have 300,000 miles on them

I love my SuperDuty; I intend to enjoy it, and for the most part I intend to follow manufacturer's recommendations for service intervals and not "baby" her (too much. ) I'll keep a watchful eye on things, check the water separator, and probably start using a fuel additive. When I find myself worrying about it, I'm going to remember all those diesels in my group at work...

Well, if you're still with me, I guess I didn't bore you too badly...

 

And the one that is not listed was the trade in on my F350 FX4 Superduty. That was a 2013 F150 FX4 EcoBoost crew cab.

 

You definitely made the right choice. The 6.7 is an awesome engine and it is wrapped up in an awesome truck. If you have not purchased the extended warranty that would be something to consider for more piece of mind.
