Convinced
I have been a true blue Chevy man for over 25 years now. Never owned anything else, and you couldn't convince me otherwise. I have been shoping for a new truck for about two years. I have been using "FTE" for information that long also. I have been back and forth between the Chevy and the Ford, driving and comparing. Well,,,,,, Ford won.! I just can't stand what Chevy has done to their truck. They are All squinty eyed, and they look like they picked out a whole bunch of parts out of the junk yard and bolted them on, and called it a truck. You don't even sit square behind the wheel. Enough said.
Let me see if I can do this like you pros.
2004 SD F350 4x4 cc Lariat LB. 6.0L V-8 Diesel 5 speed auto trani, Dark Toreador red clearcoat / medium parchment leather interior. Got everything I wanted except the cab lights. Just over a thousand miles and loving it. All I see now is the competition in the "Rear view mirror" Hince the name.
This truck puts all my past Chevy trucks, and everyone else's to SHAME. And I don't seem to mind looking at them behind me at all.
I think I'm here to stay.

Loving the truck
Hi Rearview, Welcome. I'll bet you'll love it more as you drive it. I just bought my first Ford & first pickup last Nov. I got a '04, F250, cc,sb,Fx4, 6.0 psd & have about 13,500 miles with a bit of heavy towing. It drives like a dream & is a pleasure to own. Take care. Rick

Someone posted a thread about adding the cab lights and was stunned how much cheaper and easier it was than he thought.... let me see if I can find it with the search...

Welcome to the "I do not buy GM Club" Rearview, I to have ditched GM trucks. I am on my second PSD and love it. I could not stand the GM independant front, eventual track IFS 
as I called it, and bought my 95 XLT 7.3 4X4. I now have a 2003 6.0 and could not be happier, plus the leg room, I am 6'3 and don't have the seat all the way back.
I looked at Dodge, but the coil spring
front suspension is just wrong, now Ford went to this...
...not sure what I will do next. I may be driving my 2003 for many years.
