Ordered it 5/3/2016, built on 6/12/2016, delivered to dealer 7/16/2016 , new Reading bed 7/20/2016, in my driveway 7/21/2016. Man, I thought it would never get here. Loaded XLT,6.2 engine, bucket seats,4.30 rear end, 4x4, heavy duty springs, ( man is it tall) and a 5 gallon bucket in the bed so I can stand on it to reach my top opening boxes. I will have my pipe rack on Monday so I will update my pictures. Driving home mixed driving 150 miles on odometer I was up to 11.6 mpg.

 

Sweet action.....I love the rear bumper.

 

Congratulations! Glad you finally got her home!

 

a Long Time Coming, but its Home Now. Congrats.

 

A new work truck almost makes me want to go back to work , if you load yours like I loaded mine it won't be so tall but I'm guessing that the top load boxes will still be a little problem.

Nice looking work truck

Heck, at 5'5" I would have problems if it were a low rider. I used dividers and labeled them on the side so I have to do is reach over into the bins. If I park beside the curb I can see in there. I went from a 2006 srw 350 and a transit connect to just this one truck. Man it's nice. I will get pipe rack on and post new pics.

 

Nice setup

 

Here an updated picture now my pipe rack is installed

 

That work truck is too purty to mess up with work!

 

congrats...first mod...locking gas cap

 

All loaded up and ready for its first install. I did tow my mini excavator today and the 6.2 with 4.3 gears is awesome. BTW running empty on the interstate at 70 mph I am running 2000 rpm's.

 

Don't make the mistake I did with my last work truck, 2000 F350 V10 with a Stahl service body. The first time I pulled my trencher I didn't have the hitch latched all the way and when I backed the trencher off it disconnect and smashed in my tailgate

That is a good looking work rig you put together. You will love those 4.30's as well.

 

I used a tank of fuel pulling between 4000 pounds and 5000 pounds and got 10.5 mpg. My old 06 F350 srw, reg cab 2 wd with 4.10 gears got 11 empty and 8 towing the same load. I hope when it gets a few miles on it mpg's will get better

 

My hwy mpg empty got much, much better. I didn't tow much of anything until it had about 4K.
