I'm too lazy to stand and don't want to hear it either so I've learned to just sit and relax...

Well, we've thoroughly hijacked this thread with pee talk eh? LOL...

I can tell you for sure. There is no comparison between the 6.0 and the 6.7

If that's true I will be a happy camper. My 6.0 was no slouch, but not a beast either.

Thanks. I agonized over colors for a long time before buying this truck. I usually keep vehicles for a long while and wanted something I could be happy with for a long time and that would look good for a long time.

Thinking about seeing what it would cost to redo the trailer to match. Like paint the bottom silver and getting some new swooshes made to cover the old gold and maroon ones with silver and gray maybe.

You and I think alike! I was ordering my new trailer and it was to be painted anyways. The manufacturer agreed to paint it to match my truck. Ingot Silver all around! New truck to come in two years. Ford better not drop Ingot Silver...

Example... On our way to and from Florida we went thru the mountains. Had 6% grades for 6 miles in both directions. Speed limit was 60 and we didn't get below that speed. Passing everything except cars . we couldn't do that with our stock 6.0.

The irony of the RV brand name is my favorite part. The first thing I thought when I saw that was it must be photoshopped. Just too perfect of a fit...
