Pro, its paid for, though that shouldn't count. So many features for a bare bones truck it's hard to count but I guess the power is so much better than my old 8.1 liter.
Con, the stupid DEF tank under hood fill, what were they thinking?!
Best after market feature is the 60 gallon in bed tank, it let me run from Fresno, CA to Denver without stopping for fuel.
What does that 60 gallon tank full of fuel do for your rear axle carrying capacity?
What do you think it does to the carrying capacity? Do we have to play "5 whys" to get the root cause? Do you know what load he carry's and pulls?
GEEZE, why all the hostility????? can't find any bad RAM/CUMMINS reports today? :B

The tank itself weighs about 40 lbs., the fuel weighs another 420 so I lose a bit of cargo capacity but I'm not pushing any limits with my trailer. For a heavier trailer then you would probably be getting close to the limits. Its just a handy way to extend my distance between fueling. It does take up a bit of bed space but no more than a tool box, plus it has a small tool box on top, about 6" deep. When empty I can go close to 1800 miles before running out as long as I am being nice to the skinny pedal. With the trailer I made it from Saint George, UT to Fresno, CA without fueling.

The 7.3 diesel is the best engine I have ever had.
Some of the Ford electronics like the door switches and automatic lights are goofy and hard to repair.

You can turn the chime off in a lot of the new trucks. First thing I did in my 13 and 16 Rams.
Can you help me out there?? My method of turning it off is buckling it behind me and sitting on top.

Best feature: slick shifting great 6 speed manual gearbox
Worst: the truck is now 11 years old, so I will likely have to replace it fairly soon.
