New SD V10

Just took delivery of new SD. I put this order in for this truck back in Sept9th.
After 13 weeks she is finally here. Already I can tell that this is going to be a long term affair. Wedgewood blue F250, 4.30LS, 6 speed, CC, SB, 4X4, V10. I just love the way it drives. Found this site after I had ordered this truck and all you guys confirmed what I ordered was correct. Made me feel that I was doing the right thing.

Sounds like a sweet machine. Can you say "Stump-puller"!

Post some pictures when you get a chance, and toss up a post to let us know.

That is one nice machine! Love the single color. Love that badge behind the headlights!

Now you just have to start putting some miles/hours on it and wait until it gets around 150 hours. It will seem like someone woke the beast up!

how many people at the dealer asked you why you were buying a v10 and told you how it was a huge gas hog?

Actually the dealership that I bought this thru was very interested in this truck. Most of the salesmen there commented about what a great combination of options that I had requested. There was one that suggested that it would be a gas hog. Most of the people that I know though have questioned why I didn't buy the PSD. I just say that it is simple economics, that is if you look at the whole picture. 1st tank I got 11.5 MPG, and I have to say I love the growl at around 3k.
