Thumbs up Awsome job Ford!

Well guys I made it in from Houston about 1:30am lastnight with the truck. All I can say about it is its amazing,it rides better than my 250 and its a 350... Cant even hardly tell its running its so quiet...
On the 400 mile trip home running 70-75 sometimes 80mph I was getting mpg's in the 18's... Gonna put the leveling kit on today and tint the windows and get all my toolbox's on it today and i'll take some more pics when im done.. Great job Ford!

Very nice, i am jealous! Disappointing about the 18mpg on the freeway when all the reviews have said 22-24. Let us know if it increases, which it should as you break it in.

Awesome truck!! Let us know how the level kit goes... I have always had them on my previous trucks, but wondering if it would screw up the "pitch and roll" device on the computer on this truck, or if you can just calibrate it to compensate for the 2"..

18mpg is pretty impressive on a diesel that is brand new and not broken in. On my current 6.4 my "break in" didn't happen until 15k miles and my mpg increased by 3. Even more so at 65mph it will be even better.

Awesome! Looks like it's setup similar to my order. Same colors, bed, lariat. Take more pictures for those of us still waiting! Also are those the 18 or 20 inch wheels? I'd like to see a closer photo.
