Thanks for the compliment...loving it so far and using it for my daily driver. Normal driving I'm getting 16 to 17 mpg so that's not bad.

6K miles on the clock and running great. Getting 16 to 17 mpg not towing so I'm satisfied with that.

Wife and I took a 2,300 mile round trip to Maryland for Christmas. We loaded down the dually with ice chests full of seafood and boxes of gifts and went to her sisters house. Truck rode great on the highway and felt safe running in some light rain and even some snow on the way back. Averaged 16.3 running the speed limit or a little under due to heavy traffic. Very pleased with the truck so far.

That's a nice truck! In a few years after my warranty runs out on the F150, I plan on upgrading to a SD. Not sure what size or if I want a dually. But it will be for sure a diesel. Got 5 years to plan it out.

Thanks..I wanted to see how bad or how good it was on a long trip not towing. Pleasantly surprised how well it rode on the interstate hwys once out of Louisiana. Happy New Year to you!!

No complaints so far with the truck...excellent tow vehicle for these heavy 5th wheelers.

Very nice. I'd add airbags to even it out a tad.

Thanks..
Truck is just about level...different camera views make it look a little sagging in the rear. Here's a side view.

Got my second son in law to join the Superduty club. He bought a '17 that was the local dealer's demo and should have it this evening. The other son in law has a '12 F-250 Lariat that got me liking the 6.7 engines.

Took these Sunday before the Superbowl..watched the game at my daughters house.

Very nice.

I got a set of Rough Country liners for my truck and I like them.

Here they are for your son in law:
