New F250 in the driveway

Ordered 1/6, picked up at dealership today.

Not a fan of over the top chrome, was excited to see the Lariat Sport package.

Had never seen the Silver Spruce color in before the order was placed. Today was the first time I have seen it, and only the second Sport Package period.

So far, liking it. Haven't got to see it in direct sunlight.

Pretty basic order.

Locking rear end, FX4, Lariat Value Package, heated rear seats, upfitters, garage door opener.

Almost wishing I had gone with the 4:30 rear end....these stock tires are 34" tall, definitely feel the difference between a stock XL I drove.

Sharp looking truck. Good luck with it.

That black front needs a black oval. Just my opinion

I ordered the 4.30 axles figuring I can always go with a bigger tire if I felt that necessary, but with 3.73 about the only choice would be going with smaller tires to effectively drop the ratio some.
Interesting comment on the axle ratio. My truck is due to be at dealer March 24. Silver spruce also. Good looking truck.

That’s one nice looking truck!!! Did you install window defectors on ones side in the first pic too?

So since us normal pckage guys spend all this time and money deleting chrome and blacking out, does that mean the sort package guys are going to delete the black and chrome it out? Just joking. Love the truck.

I'm really liking those rims. Thinking about getting some from eBay, just wonder how they hold up to tire changes.

Silver Spruce may be one of my new favorite colors. I have yet to see it in person, but it is sharp in these pics. Congrats on a beautiful truck!

Beautiful truck.

What kind of mileage are you getting with that 6.2L/3.73 combo hand calculated? And is the dash MPG display accurate?

Very nice truck. Personally I prefer tires with black wall facing out...

Thanks everyone.

White letters out.....it comes that way from the factory, why, I have no idea! First tire rotation they are coming off and getting turned around.

MPG.....it has a grand total of 53 miles on it, so I can't tell anything other than the lie-o-meter says 14.3, and I drove like a grandpa on Prozac driving the 40 miles home from the dealer.

The vent visors hadn't been put in the other side yet, sorry!

Got those done, along with the Husky Xact floor liners. Gonna see how the Weathertech mud guards looks when I get them on today, not sure if I want them or not.

Not to hijack his thread, but I am running that combo in a 2017. Around town I average about 13, and I've seen mid 15's on the highway, and the dash is usually within a tenth or two from my hand calculations.
