2018 F250 Powerstroke Ike Guantlet

Easily towed it with basically identical times to the other two 3/4 ton diesel trucks and only one brake tap on the way down. It was easily able to keep the speed limit with power to spare just like the other two as well. The only negative thing I noticed was that the squat is more noticeable than the other two. I can see why it is probably best to get the camper package with it's added springs on the F250 or just go up to an F350.

Time: 8:05
mpg: 4.2
Brake applications: 1

    I thought Ford's soft springs were supposed to be a thing of the past with the chassis in the new Super Duty? Bags or timbrens would be a real easy fix so I'd have to say it's not a big deal in my book. The performance going up and down the grade is what I'd expect of any of the current diesels...they're just awesome.
