I am not joking when I say this, almost every time I stop somewhere there is a conversation about the truck from the front end to the color...everyone loves it and I do as well.






I am with you on this topic. I have had my truck one week and absolutely love it. I came over from a Toyota Tundra and while I really liked the Tundra, the F350 is awesome. I have the exact same color and I love that depending on the light, it either looks blue or it looks gray. When it was overcast here earlier in the week, they gray showed up more, especially closer to dusk.

That blue-gray color is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing and for being part of the Ford family!

Nice truck. I think Ford went overboard with the front valence being so low to the ground.

I do wonder if the published approach angle and break over angle take that valence into account?

That valence is the built in snow plow edition.

I would take about half of that off.

That is for the extra 0.05 mpg in a diesel and 0.0365 in the gas. A piece of plastic won't help efficiency at all in a 4-ton brick. All about CAFE numbers for the manufacturers these days. Just more work for the owners to take them off or trim them down.

Yup cut mine down with a jigsaw last weekend, about 4” off. Scared I was going to rip it off when I go hunting. Looks good.

At one point, we went 4 hrs and 40 mins non stop(and I’m 70)!
Love this truck, no complaints so far, and everything works seamlessly!
Had a 830 mile tow trip this weekend in 2021 6.7 towing the same weight. Got 10.5 towing 75 mph and 11.5 towing 70 mph over the course of the trip. Used 4-5 gallons of DEF.

Of course none of that can come close to my FIL this weekend. He said he gets 14 mpg towing “at any speed” in his 5.6 Titan.
