COWBOY
YEE HAW
I recently got two 2011 6.7Ltr F-450s. I was going to wait till I had more wheel time with them both to start a thread with my input on them but I have had quite an interest from other members about them.
To make it simple... They are AMAZING!!!!
The first one I got was a 4x2 regular cab xl with a 16' box and a power lift gate. When the truck got delivered i was a little leery about it being top heavy because it 12' tall and narrow. Ive put over 1000 miles on it so far and it rides beautiful. Theres very little sway. I have no complaints at all with power, acceleration, turning radius, handling, comfort and over all ease o operation.
The second truck I got was a 4x4 regular cab xl mason dump with power windows, locks, mirrors, and upgraded stereo. Being this is the truck Im going to be driving the most I wanted a few more comfort features. I havent had the chance to haul many loads with this truck yet. I did a few 1 cord firewood loads. It didn't squat and i forgot I was loaded because there was no hesitation at all. This truck definately got a work out pushing snow. We got between 8"-10" of snow. I plowed 5 driveways and the parking lots and yard at work (about 3 acres) with no problem. The truck pushed thru the snow, drifts, and banks like they werent even there. Even driving around with the plow on and 2 ton of 3/4 clean stone in the body (for weight and taction) the truck rode smooth and straight. My only complaint with this truck so far is the fuel milage while plowing but thats understandable. with the blade down plowing lots and the yard I was getting 5 mpg. Normal around town in both trucks is around 12.
Ok... enough of me ranting. Overall I LOVE these trucks and the motors. Ill post a few pics and vids. Feel free to ask any questions or leave comments.
