New Towing Rig

jassson007 · Jan 29, 2014

Well we went and did it. Did not trust the '08 with the rebuilt engine so we had been shopping for past week. Well today we pulled trigger on a 2014 f350 FX4 drw in kodiack brown and tan two tone with tan leather. Loaded with ultimate lariat package. Did not last very long not having a note but it is less than last one and we will pay off fast. Will post pics after they detail it for me.

Re: New Rig

Same truck we have only we have the srw. It is definitely a head turner. I keep saying that I think the truck will make me coffee if I just find the right button for it. Love it!

007,

What kind of weapon systems did HQ install with the ultimate lariat package???
All Ms. Moneypenny would approve for my XL was a squirt gun.

Enjoy your new truck!!!

It is loaded with everything. But package had nav, tailgate step, bed liner and remote start. We are excited about it. Now have to get my b&w switched over as I did not get hitch prep. Figured my hitch with less than a year towing was still good to go no use buying a new hitch too lol.

I'm sure you made the right choice. When the rebuilt engine started blowing white smoke, you know something ain't right.
Time to trade it in.

Post some photos of your new rig when you get it detailed.

Congrats on the new TV. Excellent choice. I have basically the same truck and it is always getting compliments. Drives and pulls like a dream too. I did add a couple of goodies (aux fuel tank and air bags) which I think makes it even nicer.

Now not only do we both travel with two wieners, but we have the same truck (yours is just a couple of years newer). :angel:

I can't wait to see what it will do with the BC in tow. Already getting 14 mpg with only 75 miles on it. The '08 would only get that in town if it was babied. Lol

jbeletti · Jan 30, 2014

Nice truck Andy. It will pull that BC like nobody's business

Lariat Ultimate - nice!

Dependent on the wind and terrain in 3,240 towing miles I have been ranging from a 11 to just over 14 (strong tail wind) mpg. I have just a little over 5 k miles on the truck.

That will be better than the 7-9 I was getting with the 6.4. Still got couple hundred miles before I hook up to it to get it broken in. Also still have to get my hitch out I since we didn't get factory prep. Was trying to save some but will need new b&w gn as the one on my '08 won't work wish the '14 due to different frame rails.

Both the 6.7 diesel Fords I have had specified 500 miles before towing anything.

I get between 11 and 12 MPG towing a BC like yours. Speed makes a big difference in the mileage and I drive between 60 and 65.

And no cruise control, varying the RPM/MPH while driving.

I really like that color!!!

wildwolfproducts · Jan 31, 2014

I'm sorry and hope this does not hurt your feeling. But man you messed up big time. That truck will never pull the camper. You will be lucky if it will even put its self with the hitch mounted. Plus its so ugly.
So just send it my way and I will suffer through the hardship for you. And will not even change you for all my trouble's.

Now I can't see laptop screen, Drooling

all over it looking at the pics of that great looking truck. Enjoy and looking forward to hearing a review on it after you get hooked up . And put some miles on that truck.
