Hello Super Duty
Hi all. I posted in the introduction thread but wanted to add one here also. I am waiting delivery of a new 7.3 gasser and I decided this was the place to learn more about the truck.
With everything being electronic, you can never know too much about the vehicle. I have a lot of reading to do.

Very nice trucks indeed and mine is going to be used as a tow vehicle of a travel trailer. You will read all kinds of wonky stuff of people ragging the 7.3 and saying they hate the transmission and why does it not cycle 1-10 while driving and so on and so on. Not saying there aren’t a few issues, but overall, this truck and engine are a home run for sure.
Some complain of gas mileage also! Really, you bought a SD work truck to rival a Prius.....bwaaaa ha ha!
It goes on and on but you should find it to be a great truck. I have heard some guys I know locally getting 17 mpg and the other day towing my TT which is 32 feet and 6200 lbs dry I got 8.4 mpg. Not too,shabby.

Welcome to the forum!
I find the forum's built-in search serious lacking. I'll use Google by specifying the site and thread. Example to search death wobble in the 2017+ threads.

Thanks. I find out by Friday if we made it in the 2021 builds and the dealer said he expected 8 to 12 weeks. We are excited. I am looking forward to this truck. It has been a long time since I have ridden in
a big)) block vehicle. I am also excited about the new 10 speed transmission. This should be a very impressive package. We have a boat to pull with it (~6000 lb) so it should be an easy tow.
