Congrats!! As you undoubtedly will find out, you made a great choice!
Don't listen to the Fiat fanboi claiming the truck hasn't changed in 17 years. I've owned several early powerstrokes from 99' to 03', and anyone who says the 2016 Ford is the same truck has never driven one. One nice thing about the Ford and GM line-ups is you get the same motor and trans throughout their classes, you don't have to jump up to a 3500 to get the max hp/Tq they have to offer.
Enjoy the new ride and be sure to put up a pic in the photo thread!
