Congrats nice color, but I am curious why the new truck, was it for a color change? newer engine improvements?
I recently did the same but I went from a 2011 f250 to a 2016 f350drw.
Sometimes I wonder myself "why the new truck?"
I think it is going to take me awhile to appreciate the new color. The old one is getting significantly better fuel economy. I am hoping the new one needs to break-in a bit. My decision to get a new truck was soley mathematical. I figured my '11 has strong resale value now and the new one was what I believed to be a good deal so I calculated that the old truck would have to remain trouble free for the next 5 years to come ahead financialy over trading. Had I kept the old one and then if something major were to go wrong with it, I'd be wishing I had traded.
