Nice truck.....do you have to add exhaust fluid to the new fords?
Since your a former Eco Boost owner; I drove my buddies and was not impressed with the motor and it seemed like the body was built like a beer can to reduce weight....would you agree?

thanks guys
and yes I was not impressed with the eco boost
the main thing I did not like with the throttle response there was a huge delay once you stepped on the gas pedal before it would get going and the turbos would kick in and the gas mileage was not as promised at all when I traded it in I was getting 14.9 MPG and that's all highway

That's just funny, any turbo engine will have a little lag. your new diesel will also. If you drive it like you stole it it will get about 15 mpg as well and the fuel costs more. Congrats on a poor decision and a beautiful truck.

Nice truck.
What kind of loads are you pulling that the EcoBoost couldn't handle it? I've heard mixed reviews.

Congrats on a poor decision and a beautiful truck. Actually the 6.7 doesn't have that much when compared to the 6.0 or 6.4 Mpg hwy 60-69=20-22 Hwy 70-74'ish= 17-18 Hwy 75-85= 16-15 Town mpg 15-17... just depends on foot Urea 1 gallon per about 1k

Congrats on a poor decision and a beautiful truck. At first I was like, who peed in your coffee? Then I saw the poster and said that figures.  Nice truck.

Very nice truck. I will say tho that I myself have an ecoboost and love it. It does have a short lag when you punch it but that is no reason for me to sell my truck. Hell it makes up for it when your hauling a$$. I got 20 on the hwy driving 70 and about 16 around town. I have towed alot with it but nothing to heavy until last week and I pulled an 8,000lbs tractor. I will have to say that I was very impressed. I really do like your new truck.
