Tex, I wish you the best of luck with this new build. What made you want to get rid of the LC? Those 200 series are seriously awesome rigs.

I was running out of space inside on most trips, the dogs took up 80% of my interior space, I've always wanted a Super Duty Tremor, we have some future toys coming that will require a diesel, and I have a vehicle buying/modding problem. The last one is well known and documented here lol. The Cruiser was a fantastic vehicle and it will be missed but it won't be the last Cruiser in this household and we plan to get the new GX550 Overtrail for the wife in the next 1-2 years.

The f250 tremor gets 20-23?????The truck gets an amazing 20-23 mpg on the highway but this little puppy gets 110-130 mpg haha. I haven't quite fallen in love with it beyond its classic good looks but I am going to do my best to use it around town more once the temps drop a bit.

Yessir, 21.7 mpg with four adults over 85 miles last night at 70 mph. Hit 22.9 mpg taking it to Houston and back by myself last week, 60-75 mph on that trip. Around town it's gettin 17-19 mpg.

Wow, I didn't know they were anywhere close to 20. I would have guessed 11-13 max.

Yea pretty common on these late model trucks from what I am seeing on the forums as whole. My RAM 3500 on 37's would see north of 20mpg on the highway unladen as well.

The best part about the new GX is that it's not a forced hybrid option, I dig that. I also feel you on the dogs, those fluffers take up a lot of space.
I'm very interested to hear about your ongoing experience with the SD vs the Ram platform since you've had at least 2 since I've been chatting with you. In 6-12 months let's hear a pros/cons.

Yea I think they got more right with the Overtrail GX than they did with the new mid-size Cruiser. It'll be interesting to see where both models are in terms of what enthusiasts do with them a few years from now.
This is my 5th Super Duty since 2011, all of which have been 6.7L Power Strokes, but this is the first HO. Out of the gate I have to say that the HO is impressive in the "seat of the pants" meter and the 10-speed pairing is fantastic. The interior update on the '23+ in fantastic, best HD truck interior on the market at the moment. I'll report back more findings after I get the Carli bits and 37's on and have some time tugging stuff around with it.

I sat on one at the local place. Really like it. Probably "safer" than my 450. And I dig the green color.The truck gets an amazing 20-23 mpg on the highway but this little puppy gets 110-130 mpg haha. I haven't quite fallen in love with it beyond its classic good looks but I am going to do my best to use it around town more once the temps drop a bit.

Oh I would have waited for the Green myself had I known that they were bringing that color to the states. I got this one back in January after waiting 9+ months for it at my dealer. They are almost more fun to look at than they are to ride, but if you keep in mind what it "isn't" more so than what it "is" then I believe one can thoroughly enjoy it.
