People are starting to question the bed depth(+1.1") and height of the new 2017 Fords. Anyone towing a 5th wheel with on yet?

I was in for an oil change today and they had a brand new 2017 F250 XLT with the 20" wheels (the tallest F250 combo) and my truck parked next to it I would say that it sits about 1.5" taller.
While looking at it my salesman came out with a set of keys and told me to take it for a test drive to see what I though as I had been asking about them for a while.
Three things stood out:
1. This thing is like a vault on wheels, extremely quiet and tight feeling (I tried the 6.7 Diesel)
2. It rides significantly smoother than my current F250
3. between being lighter and having more power and 3.55 gears it felt a lot stronger than my current truck - that and you pretty much can't hear the engine at all.

Thanks for the report. So when do you bring it home? :B
Not gonna lie, I told him to give me a ballpark on it even though I'm 18 months away from when I planned to get another.
LOL, I figured so the way you were describing it! That's why I avoid dealerships like the plague; they make me do things I shouldn't! :B
