loving the 6.7!!!

I just want to post how much I like this 2017 f250 lariat, I picked it up in January this year, I found one with only 8000 miles on it! Its a huge upgrade from my 2006 f350 6.0L, and I loved that truck! The fuel mileage is awesome, I'm getting 11-12L/100km (21MPG) thats with 35"s unloaded on the highway, the amount of power is impressive as well for a stock truck! My plan is to leave it stock,, it seems people are not deleting these trucks, illegal and not as beneficial as it was with the 6.0L? Well loading it up and going bear hunting today, looking forward to the drive!!!

Hope you bag a bear. I have had bear meat in the past. i was too drunk to say weather I liked it or not.LOL
I love my 15 I left mine stock as well. Didn't make sense to me to spend that much money and time to tear the truck apart only to end up with codas and a truck that doesn't run. I have about 70,000 and mine runs like a top. Your 17 is a upgrade from the 15.

I've only had my 6.7 for two weeks and just rolled 1k miles today. I agree with you, it is a great combination for a stock truck. I don't have any plans to delete or modify mine, at least not for a long time if ever.

Yup, Ford has done us well. The fun part is making your truck, your own!

I believe that the only mod I've made was adding F/R DuraFlap mud guards.
Personally I would never delete it - nor purchase one that had been deleted.

The Feds will (judgement call: Rightfully so) eventually eat your wallet.

Incidentally, I'm only seeing 10 MPG (hooked up to a 16K load).

Good luck with it. I love my 6.7 but not sure how you're seeing 21 mpg. You must be driving a constant 55 mile per hour

it is a beast of an engine. My first diesel and the driving experience is quite different than my higher power gas vehicles. That "freight train feeling" at low RPM's is addicting.

The DPF is a scam and increases fuel consumption while making the truck less reliable.
I've given the middle finger to the EPA
The EPA can kiss my sweet a$$.

The DPF and regens don't really kill the mileage of my truck. I'll post up mileage figures tomorrow. While I agree that these new diesels can't sit around and idle a ton or drive in stop and go traffic without some problems, it doesn't give me any problems. Just saying...

And dude, how do ya know your@$$ is sweet? Your girl tell you??

I'm loving my stock 6.7 as well.

I've gotten 21-23 mpg driving 55-60 mph. But if I speed up to 70 mph 18 is about as good as I get with 35" tires. And towing for me is 10.5 - 11 mpg.
My 2017 turned 72,000 miles today. I love it, but wish it would stop counting up the miles.

Good luck on the Spring Bear hunt
