New kid on the block

I've been following this website for the past month or so while I did my research on new trucks.

Well a couple nights ago I bought a new dark blue 2011 F250 XLT (loaded) diesel.

I've been a Dodge guy for a long time and had a bad run-in with customer service and decided it was time for a change. I can't be happier.

Great forum. Thanks.

Welcome to FTE and congratulations on your new truck. You have joined a number of former Dodge owners in making the switch to Ford...or as cumminscowboy wrote when he switched..."coming over to the dark side".

Enjoy that new truck

Regards

Welcome to the forum. I am fairly new here and have learned more information here than from my owners manual and the dealer.

Welcome to FTE.

Would that be the dark blue pearl metallic? Hmmm, where have I seen that color b4?

Congrats on the new truck and color choice.

Regarding the can't be happier statement, yes you can be happier, just go hook up to something heavy and start pulling! LOL

All I tow with mine is my Tr-20x. You will have to look in the mirror to make sure the boat is still behind you.

Hope you enjoy it.
