The wife and I decided to take a trip to Dallas as an after tax season treat. Long story short, we ended up trading the 2013 F150 for a 2014 F250 KingRanch CC SB FX4 6.7L PSD. We were going to wait until around 2019-2020 to trade, but long story short we wanted the ability to double tow the fifth wheel and boat. Dealer ended up giving us just shy of 12k off the F250 so we figured why not.

Loved the F150, but our towing needs have out grown the capabilities of the F150.

 

very nice. I would be interested in seeing this double tow though.

 

That is a good looking truck. Congratulations! I'm officially jealous

 

Gorgeous...

 

Congrats ...this is a nice truck and so is the color

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats! 3rd truck in a year

 

Nice!

 

She's so beautiful I could cry .... wait I am because I want a 6.7 haha

 

Did you consider a 6.2 instead of the diesel? I am considering a 3/4 ton when I wear out my EB. Don't really need the tow capacity but would be nice to have the extra payload.

 

I had seen a few videos of 6.2L gas motors in the F250/F350, and they definitely hold their own but the mileage is the killer. This 6.7L gets better mileage than my previous EB, as for towing well I haven't gotten around to towing with it yet so that will be the real test of mileage IMO.

 

The 6.7 may get better mileage than the 6.2, but how much better? How much more does diesel in your area cost than 87 octane gas? That's what you have to look at if you don't need the extra pulling power of a diesel.

 

Two things... when towing with the EB it's better to use Premium, and the manual even states this. Diesel is only 5-8 cents higher than premium on average, sometimes diesel is cheaper than premium depending where you go.

I don't know what the average mileage for a 6.2L is, but they are strong motors from what I understand. Same driving habits and routes previously in the EB and I'm able to get better mileage in the 6.7L PSD. But the flip side is truck costs more up front. I will say this, the maintenance on the 6.7L is very easy to do, everything from oil to fuel filters is extremely efficient and easy to get to.

 

Beautiful truck! My daughter and son in law have a 2012 Lariat with the 6.7 and they love it. I'm amazed how quiet the engine is.

 

Congrats on the new truck, prime81. It is gorgeous! Let me know if you need anything.
