I signed up on this site after I ordered my truck and have to thank all of ya'll for helping me keep my sanity during the waiting time. I checked this site daily and gladly absorbed any new information regarding the 08's so thanks to everyone for their posts.

Concerning the truck, this is definitely the finest truck I have ever owned. Obviously I only have 200 miles on it so check back with me in a couple of years and I'll tell you if my opinion has changed. I know some like the loud, manly diesel sounds but I don't. The first night I had it I drove into Sonic and ordered without turning off my engine. That was definitely something I couldn't do in my 7.3. I'm impressed with the exterior and don't mind the front end at all. The factory 20's are a nice option. But the interior is what I'm most impressed with. You really don't feel like you're in a truck. It reminds me of an Escalade or some other luxury vehicle, and I guess at 50K you shouldn't expect anything less! The ride is smooth and comfortable and the Nav system took me about 5 minutes to master. Maybe I'm just a hick but the coolest thing to me is the power telescoping/folding mirrors. I have played with them so often they'll probably break before long.

Again, thanks to everyone for all the info. I've uploaded several poor photos to my gallery. I'm still learning the site so hopefully you can view them if you're interested.

 

Congratulations, very nice looking truck you got there! Thanks for the pictures, I enjoyed viewing them.

I actually got to see my 1st 08 today here in Central Pa, an F250 Diesel.......I very much like the new look, inside and out. Quiet compared to my previous 7.3, wow!

 

Congrats that is one good looking truck. Keep us posted on how it does and how you like it.

 

That truck is just about the way I would set mine up if I ordered new. Nicely done!

 

that truck looks sweet!

 

Awesome truck....Welcome to FTE and please do keep us posted on the performance, MPG etc...We starve for real world experience. Thanks for the pics.

 

I totally agree! The telescoping/folding mirrors are very TRICK! I've been wondering if they would fit the older SD's ('99-'04).

Congrats!

was looking at them up close and man the base of them looks like itll fit just fine but i think they would look funny as hell with the 99-07 front end
Congrats!

 

Dude that is a sweet truck, i wish i had about $50,000 to buy one. I don't kno what id do with it but i want one.

 

Welcome to the site man your are a very lucky man that is a beautiful truck wow is it sweet looks great

 

Me too!!! Can't wait to hear!! Beautiful new rig!! Congrats!!...Brian

 

they should bolt up but as for being able to use the power telescoping/folding features i'm not exactly sure about that

 

If they are a complete unit (all necessary motors for the functions), then all they need is power. So...if they bolt up...and are complete, then I see "someone" doing the install. Will wait on that...
