Cool New Truck

Well I picked up my new truck last friday. It's an 03 F350 crew cab 8' bed 4x4 lariat Diesel with 5 speed auto. This is my new child it rips!!!!!!! The new 6.0 Diesel is the most impressive engine I have driven since I stopped playing with nitrous big blocks. It's got more torque than I expected, it accelerates better than my 2000 V-10 ever did and its QUITE!!!!!!!!

I have yet to hear of a V-10 that gets over 16 mpg like the new 6 liter does!
