Jim, congrats on the new truck and it's fantastic that you like it! I have a new '13 F350 DRW that I've had for about a month now and have not been able to go camping and it's killing me!!! I can't wait to try it out! Like you hinted at, you get good truck and bad trucks in every make. I had only owned Chevy's until my '01 Excursion and have had 2 other Ford duallies since then. I've never owned a Dodge, but I REALLY like the way they look now. Very beautiful trucks. I drive Freightliners every day at work with the Cummins in them and love them. I like to poke fun at all the truck owners here occasionally, but I would take any of the Big 3 today! Again, congrats on the truck and happy camping!
Thank you, and I too was in the same boat, got this truck early May and yesterday was the first time I was able to tow with this truck
also agree with you 100% , any of the newer Big 3 can more than handle just about whatever we ask of them.
Also, looking at your sig. you have a great looking truck and 5er...you ever get up around this way, shoot me a PM, be nice to put a face to a handle.
Notice you have an 01' Dually with the 8.1....I had an 01 2500 with the 8.1, SON, that sucker was a screamer...loved it...never met a filling station it didn't like though:)...BUT, it was a towing ANIMULE!!
have a good one and happy camping to you too.:)
Jim
The one in the sig is my '10..here is a pic of my new that I am ashamed to say I haven't even hooked to the 5er yet! :(
Yes, I love my 8.1, just wish it would've pulled my 16k 5er better, but we all know diesels will do that better. Surprisingly I am getting around 12 now that I have changed a bad O2 sensor. For a while I couldn't figure out what was causing the mileage drop, but finally found it(after if threw a code LOL)
