17.5 MPG out of a CCLB 6.2? That’s unheard of. I’ve seen as high as 15 from a few hyper milers, but 17.5 is impressive.

I paid $77 to register my 350, and just registered the wife’s 4Runner again. Also $77. Now the cost of diesel and maintenance is a huge difference haha Texas by the way.

Your truck will be either a 11,500 or 11,400 GVWR. Subtract the weight of the truck from that, and that’s your payload capacity. I have a 17’ F-350 SRW long bed diesel crew, and my payload is 3300 lbs. A super cab gasser with either XL or XLT should be well above 4000 lbs, and closer to...

Yeah they’re pretty anemic for sure. I’ve got well over 1/4 million miles on 2012-2014 models. Put 200k on my first 12’, 120k in my second 12’, and close to 100k on my 14’ before getting my 15’ Dmax. They’re bulletproof, but they don’t move out of their own way for anything. As far as problems...

I will say the F-150 is the nicest DD that I’ve had the pleasure of driving so far. Haven’t been in the 19’ RAM or Silverado yet though. Currently in a 17’ F-350 and 18’ Sierra 1500. Have put many miles on all 3 makes from 2008 to now. Put 2500 miles on a 17’ F-150 5.0 last week.

There is a HUGE difference between pulling a lid and handling a load well. A GM 6.0 3/4 tin pulls a load like complete crap, BUT it handles it pretty well. The motor happens to be anemic, but the chassis and drivetrain can maneuver and stop the trailer with ease.

I’ve ran newer F-150s both 5.0 and 3.5 EB. Sure the truck with EB can PULL a load easily, but the rest of the truck doesn’t handle a heavy load worth a ********. Anyone that thinks it does is delusional. I do think they’re about as capable as 3/4 tons of yesterday, BUT they won’t do it long term. I...

I drive a 17’ F-350 with the 6.7 and tow roughly 70% of the time. I change my oil at 10k intervals as well, and send in a sample at 5k and 10k to Blackstone for analysis. Every time they tell my I can run longer intervals without issue. I’ll stick to 10k miles though. OP I’ve ran numerous 2500...

Got hitched last night in Durango CO, then made it up to Moab today. We took it pretty easy since we were still suffering from the brown bottle flu that was self induced at our reception. On north to Glacier National Park tomorrow.

Well tomorrow is the day we leave on our adventure. Heading out to Colorado to get married in Durango over the weekend, then heading out for Glacier NP, Banff NP, Yoho NP, then back down to Yellowstone and the Tetons before heading home. Spending some nights in the CVT tent on my rack, and some...

It’s a bit crude for now, but I finished building a removable kayak carrier for my tent rack. It was a last minute build the night before last so we could take out kayaks north with us tomorrow when we head north for a few weeks. Hope to get a few minutes to at least get a coat of primer on it...

17’ F-350 CCLB 6.7 with a few mods so far.

Are you carrying any 4 Wheeled toys in the new trailer? That looks painfully large for a bumper pull, but I can understand your need for it. Personally I chose my (somewhat) easy to remove rack and tent system to maintain my ability to haul our goosenecks and possibly a fifth wheel toy hauler in...

I believe Chaos is running on NGuage. I’m running Tyrant as well as PPEI. I haven’t noticed much of a difference from either, and for the past 3000 miles have just left mine on the 75 HP tow setting from PPEI. It runs great, and I gained a solid 3 mpg over stock on 37s.

Awesome truck. I think you’ll be doing well to see anything over 15, if that. I’m getting 15-17 on my 17’ 350 on 37x12.50s with emissions off.

Oh and great looking truck!

I thought so. I lived just above that rock for close to six months one year. We rented one of the cabins for a job that was supposed to last two months. Ended up staying there a bit over 5 months. I make it back as often as possible.

The picture of your kid jumping off the rock into the water. Does that happen to be in Concan on the Frio River?
