New F350 and first trip

I must say I am so impressed with my new truck. Been using cruise control almost 90% of the time which I couldn't do with my old truck. Although the Tundra did an admirable job and I never had any issues while towing my trailer, I could very rarely use cruise control. Have traveled from Maryland to Mitchell, SD with a couple of short drives over the next 2 days getting to Custer.
Looking forward to our 5th wheel purchase next year and hopefully retirement and full-timing in 2018.

    I used the cruise with my 2011 F450 all the time pulling the Cyclone. But I was worried about my new F350 with the 3.55 rear end. Even for our lighter Work & Play.

    Not a problem at all. Its a much more relaxing drive towing the camper. I set it on around 66-67 mph and we just roll along. The 6.7 is one sweet motor.

    Glad you are enjoying the new tow vehicle Dave! That is quite a step, from a nice pickup, to a full blown TV.

    You have covered a lot of ground, to get to Mitchell SD. You will enjoy the Black Hills. I have camped there many times, and still do. The warm daytime temps, followed by cool nights, is perfect for camping.
