Boy, did you hit that on the head. OMG, that truck is HEADS and SHOULDERS above my Denali. I can't believe how much better it pulls, more power, much nicer.

LoL its not that you got a ford I'm just amazed you already traded your trailer and duramax haha. I looked at ford when I was in the market. But at the time the 6.7 had just came out. I looked on some of the forums and they already had a few blown motor threads and the dealers weren't being super helpful. I looked around on some of the other sections and people had bent frames on raptors and no warranty coverage.. Then the guys with Echo boosts were having glitches also with no help from dealer.. All that just scared me off from ford. I figured they had another 6.0 or 6.4 on their hands. I really do think you get more creature comforts on the fords for the money.. They have a nicer interior and larger cab. Heck a buddy of mine paid the same for his loaded 6.4 F350 new then I did for my mid level duramax 2500. Sure he bought his a year before when they were getting rid of the 6.4s but still. Dollar for dollar ford offers more features. His has already been in the shop a few times though. Once on the back of a wrecker and he has less miles on his 2010 then I do on my 2011. I looked over at the duramax forums and the biggest complaints were they don't always get 20mpgs and the stock transmission can only handle 550hp lol. Well that and any duramax seems to eat injectors around 100,000 miles.

I'm not brand loyal at all though. Heck I had a Nissan titan then a Toyota Tundra before this one. My wife wrecked our tundra and I bought her a Nissan Juke nismo. So I'm pretty much all over the board when it comes to brand.

Yeah, not my fault… I can only tolerate bullshit for so long and then it's bye bye…

BTW… drove the truck with the trailer to CAW this weekend… yeah, I should have done this a loooong time ago!

ford best truck on the road especially when it comes to hauling a load. used to have a old farmer friend of my dads drove a new Silverado around town and had a f350 for the farm when I asked him about ford and chevy in the same driveway he said nothing rides a good as my chevy and gets good gas mileage but when it come to pulling a load I don't waste my time with the chevy I fire up the ford.

 

Nice truck Mark I'm a little envious. I know what the truth is though. You didn't want that goof you ran into at the fall ride finding you again with the matching truck and trailer.

And it matches lol

My 13 duramax has 530 hp that's what you could of had with the duramax and you would have had a real camper hauler with more power than you could us

I sold my H2 with duramax with over 100 HP more than your duramax and even it didn't feel as fast as my stock 350. Of course, when I install the H&S tuner Monday, I'm sure it'll be better.

I've been a GM guy my entire life and my only regret buying this Ford is I didn't do it sooner.


Glad you like your duramax but I'll keep what I've got.

Ok I thought you were being honest with us right up till the end then I knew u were just joking   

Ha ha Will.

I agree, I've gone through my share of UTVs, trucks and trailers in the last three years. I'm not OCD, I just don't see any reason why I should keep something I'm not happy with

It's unfortunate I've had to do it so much lately but at the end of the day, these toys are expensive, I'm not going to settle, it's either going to work or I'll get rid of it.

It seems lately I can't get anything right the first time, it takes two tries.... Two 900's, two aluminum trailers, two toy haulers, two duallies

Amy says she's afraid if I get unhappy with her, I'll trade her in... I keep telling her she's my second wife...

Mark I am really glad you like your new truck.  Mine is older, but it works great and it fits me too.

Anyways, I still have to give you some    since you now have a Ford.
