I told him next thing is to learn how to pull the trailer with it...that made his day! I've got an appointment set up to get the bed sprayed and the 5th wheel plate mounted in the bed. Need at least a thousand miles before towing so that may take a week or two! 48 gallon fuel tank in the 17's so thats great for long trips.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!!

'17 Lariat in White Gold...what I need to dig up to pay for it!! More of my kids inheritance going down the drain!!

With 440 hp and 925 ft lbs of torque it should! 4.10 LS gearing will help it pull pretty good also. Drove 25 miles back from the dealer and got 15.1 mpg @65 mph so that's not bad for a new engine.
