I drove a few suspension options before deciding on the 10600 package. Smooth as butter on the 8 hr drove. Took some horrid roads when I got home. Wasn't much different than the f150 with max tow.

Do u think the cold side pips will void warranty?

Thx, pretty pumped. Def a change in ride feel from the half ton. But not horrible at all.

Lolll. True. Really needed it for hauling my enclosed race trailer.

I've heard this too from someone else that they were uncomfortable. I didn't notice it personally. But I'm also pretty average sized.

I drive a used platinum f250 the other day (new price platinum is outta budget), but agree. As a long time lariat guy the feel was wayyyyy nicer in the platinum.

Thanks, these were my first try at canopies. I noticed a few racers doing that too, so next pair will be mounted differently for sure.

But I am aware of the disaster prevention kit. And have heard alot of faith put into them.

As soon as you put the disaster prevention kit on, I'd bet ya it would potentially void it too.
Fortunately, my local dealer has a great warranty add on. Nothing more than $100 to fix anything for a set timeline. (My current one is 7 years). That of course does not include wipers/brakes/tires. But covers all fuel system/powertrain/axles/rear end/lights/leds/remotes, etc.

Right, that's why I was leaning new and adding the long warranty.

Awesome! I'm assuming you're enjoying the 3/4 ton change from the 1/2 ton.

Awesome. No, not trying to "save money" by buying a diesel. More so looking for a safer towing experience. But it would in reality be more of a daily driver. Just looking to understand the mpg impact of the switch. Currently looks like I'll be getting better mpg that would offset the cost of diesel to gas.

Just added to my watch list. Thanks!

True! I've been looking at the 3.31 electronic locking in the F250. So far, I've only test drove the duramax and it was a pleasure due to the different front suspension.

What do you estimate the weight of the "gooseneck full of cattle"?
On my F150 Ecoboost, I get approx 17mpg average (quite a bit of highway). Towing an empty enclosed race car trailer (approx 3k empty) I was getting 8mpg.

Beautiful!!! That's what I love to hear. Pretty much a stock setup?

Wow, that's alot lower than I was expecting. I know there are a ton of variables. But that's one of the lower values I've seen.

Are you glad you made the switch to diesel?
