1st Ford!

Well this happened this weekend!

Ruby Red (always wanted a red pickup) and Bordello Leather '17 F-250 Platinum Ultimate, 6.7 PSD. Been a GM guy since I was 16 (S-10-1500-2500HD-'72 Buick GS!)... Traded in my trusty, but tired 06 Duramax. Drove the new GMC and the new Fords, and there was no comparison in terms of fit, finish, and features.

First impressions: I love how quiet this thing is, but at the same time I miss my turbo whine and clackety diesel sound! The power is excellent for a stock truck. I probably can't park in a parking garage anymore, but I love how high it sits when driving. It is absolutely stunning in the sun, and the interior is so nice compared to the trucks I am used to!!

Hoping to find a good maintenance/tech oriented community here like I enjoyed over on DieselPlace for my Duramax.
