We just purchased this beauty/beast. Not a big step up from our 2012 F350 Dually, but a noticeable difference in comfort, power, capacity, and safety features.

Beautiful color! I saw a lot more red/maroon trucks this year at Goshen.

I'm not a Ford guy but looks great! Is that a sun roof?

Good looking truck, like that Ruby Red. Looks like a Platinum. Did you get it loaded up? What gearing, 3.55 or 4.10? I also came from a 2012 F-350 and I think you will change your mind about "not a big step up" after the first tow. Congrats again.

So much smoother than the 2012 we had.

Yes, double. Front opens, rear is stationary.

It's a 3.55. Fully loaded Platinum. Haven't got the hitch in to tow yet, but a 100 mile round trip today was unbelievably smooth. You're right, definitely changing our minds. This is a huge step up!

My 3:55 work perfectly !!! It's incredible how much power and torque this truck has. This thing would smoke my 2008 Duramax with the 3:73s in a hill climbing contest.
I'm climbing mountains at 60 to 65 mph now and have to back out of it because of traffic.
My old truck was pick 3 gear and Hammer down 50 to 55. Which I thought was pretty darn good at the time. 😎

I couldn't wait that long Gus, I'd have to go find a tree or something to pull over.
