Checked Dealer Friday afternoon and saw transport truck with Vermillion Red 2011 F350 SD Lariat about to be unloaded. Found out it was my long awaited truck. Spent all day yesterday installing camper tiedowns and finished this morning. Loaded Camper and took it for my first drive with Camper. I can only say WOW what a difference from my 2008. I will not be needing airbags on this truck. How do I post pictures?

Took delivery of the F-450 this past Tuesday evening. I also ordered the truck on Jan 27th. Dark Blue lariat with the Nav, no sun roof. Sold my 2005 F-350 SRW Crew PSD with 127,000 trouble free miles ( well, 4 injectors at 102,000 miles).
The current 5er was to heavy for the F-350.
SO far there about 350 miles on the truck, it has gone trough a regen at about 250 miles, instant mileage went to about 10 during the process. Truck is very quiet and very quick. The Ford Sync is cool, voice command works very well. Wow is the best description I can give you.
No I have not towed yet, but we have a trip planned for May 14-16th up in the local mountains. The built in hitch is slick, but the cost for the 2 new hitches is crazy expensive.

Camperbill:
What are the dry and wet weights of your camper? I've got an 2011 F-350 6.7 L on order and was wondering whether I needed airbags to haul my camper. I'm at 3070 lbs dry weight and over 3800 lbs wet weight fully loaded with water, propane, etc.
Neither Firestone Ride Rites or Air Lift bags are available at this time for the 2011s anyway.

What rear end ratio did you get? I am interested to see what the duallys are getting for mileage, I'm probably looking at a 3.73 in a 350 though..

Picked mine up yesterday. My wife said she didnt think I could top my geekiness until she saw how excited I was that my truck arrived. This is an awsome truck!
Now I just need to fix it all up. Going to get it lifted, new wheels and tires, tint the windows, add retracting running boards and some DVD headrests for the kids to watch movies.
