weight as it sits empty?

audipwr1

3506 as optioned.

I am adding winch, e-track, some storage racks which should add ~200 more

Should be ~6900 loaded with car, spares. 7.7k on GTS tow capacity so its getting up there.

Next step is to convince wife that for safety sake I need a super duty

r6elmo

isn't that already an F250 super duty? or is it not the 6.7 Diesel?

Ford is coming out with the next generation super duties for 2016 i believe with similar tech to the F150s, lighter weight, backup cameras, and trailer backup features.

nice trailer! you can get a great deal on some of the "older" 6.7s, for safety of course

surlynkid

Yup. The 2017 models. Aluminum bodies and all the other goodies. Anxiously waiting to get an F350 long bed dually.

Unfortunately not my truck - it's the guys who i hired to haul it to me from IN

sliding fast down that slope :-)

What you think I can source for a discount on a prior gen super duty before the new ones come out?

mooty

i would get a chevy or gmc duramax. they drive like cars not trucks.
ford drives like trucks
dodge.... well... dogs.

you can get super base model fleet style prob in the 20s, maybe less. price goes up if you want to heat and cool your *** and sit on leather seats.

there was a split in '14 when ford went to a newer (more reliable) turbo that doesn't spool as fast but has a higher top end and pushes more boost. when my turbo started to go at in my '11, I bolted in the '14 style turbo. no issues there, and I don't have a real preference for either turbo (truck has tons of power).

P.J.S.

agree
very nice trailer as well!

you can easily get +10% off a new GMC or Chevy duramax. The Denali version is so plush you don't even realize you are in a truck.

Agree with your point of view but I still prefer the Ford, its a Truck it should drive like a Truck LOL.

I used have a Diesel SuperDuty but it cost me too much on maint since I didn't use it enough. So when it was time for a new one I went with the Gas model.

It sounds cool and has enough power and so much simpler on maint. Also the price of regular fuel here is always much, much less then the price of Diesel.

Oh, nice trailer!

Mooty's truck is like a limo inside. maybe bigger than one
