Talking New Truck

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a new 07 F250 Fx4 Black Larriet CC. Just gotta wait for it to be transported here. Wonder if I'm gonna feel weird going from my 04 F350 CC DRW to this truck. Has anyone else gone from a dually to a SRW? I rarely tow heavy, large loads so might not be anything noticable. Will post pics when I get it. Gonna miss the loud turbo on my 04. But will be installing a 4" turbo back MBRP first chance I get, dealer says it fine with them! woohoo! Then gauge set, and then I broke! lol

Congrats on the new rig
FWIW The ride should be smoother on any 07 vs 04.

I'll tell you two things your not gonna miss, is having to worry about those dually fenders in tight quarters and having to worry about the guy who parks next to you for some stupid reason, even though you are parked in never land with plenty of other spaces available. Congrats and good luck!!! You will be enjoying a better ride. I went from an '03 SRW F-250 to an '06 SRW F-350 and the '06 rides and handles better.

I haven't jumped out of my DRW yet, but if we decide to stay with our travel trailer and not get a 5th wheel, I'm going back to an F250 5.4L.

Be sure and remove your tune from your old truck before trading it in; if you email me the calibration number from the new truck once you get it I will get your files switched over for you.

Picked up the truck Sat late afternoon, took a few for me to warm up to the truck, but like it alot now. Stripped my 04 down Sat morning and my 4 year old son asked why I was doing that, I told him that I was getting a new truck and he started to cry said he likes that truck, then told him I was getting a black 4x4 and he was happy again. Only got to drive it home from the dealer Sat evening, had to work 14 hours yesterday out of town and no way was I getting the new truck dirty so I loaded everything into my van, lol. Will try to post pics in a day or to.
