I'll miss her. Lucky I have something to take her place.

imgur.comGonna miss the manual?

I already do... I am a "Ford" guy, but the one thing that very nearly got me in a Dodge was that they still made a stick shift (that, and I didn't want a 6.0/6.4)

Yeah I hear ya. Every once in a while a 6.4 lariat 6 speed pops up, and my judgment temporarily lapses.

Both are gorgeous

I love the gray color. Beautiful new truck.

I would have kept the old truck. Everyone knows you could make that last forever for pretty cheap.

I miss it majorly, both the stick shift and the sound (the old truck had a 4" straight pipe from the turbo back).
It had over 190k miles when I sold it, and never let me down, but it was 13years old and got the age where it started needing little things here and there (minor stuff - sensors, seals etc.), and I got sick of doing those little patch up jobs every other weekend - I would much rather be driving it. I also got sick of the rough ride it had and I really wanted a Crew Cab. The new truck isn't perfect (it has a useless 26gal tank... with only about 22-23gal usable), but its a lot more comfortable for trips through Baja and the desert with my friends.

I understand. I like both of those trucks a lot, I'm sure whoever gets it next will put another couple hundred thousand on her.

who knows, maybe he had an extra $40k sitting in a bank somewhere...

What kind of millage are you getting

I got 16mpg city and 19mpg hwy with the 7.3. I have only put 200 miles on the "new" truck, but it averaged 21mpg (all hwy)

Awesome, i get 24 in the summer and 20 in the winter with my diesel liberty, I've been eyeing the 6.7 for a while but its just out of my price range at the moment, hope you enjoy it.
I've enjoyed the 7.3 as well, let us know how the two compare; ride, comfort, sound, handling... Its fun to read about but feedback from a regular person would be great.

That's one beautiful truck! Any mods planned for it?

I have a H&S Mini Maxx race tuner sitting here for it, just need a delete pipe. Plan to lift it 2" (probably Icon springs at the front and F350 blocks at the rear) and put slightly larger Toyo A/T2's on it. Probably replace the stock fogs with some LED driving lights.

That'll look really good! I've got a buddy with that tuner and delete pipe on his. Even with it being on 37" Toyos and 20" BMF's, it's still dang quick.

Wish I had a use for a diesel. Happy w my full sized gasser, but always admire these. Ford does it right withthe HD line

Damn nice truck I have a Raptor currently but keep looking at the Super Duty's might have to get me one soon
1
My 6.4 is a beast. But I'd love a 6.7. Please put stock head lights or cleared stock headlights back on it though. Those ones on it are hideous.

I agree they could look better - but they are twin HID projector housings - in my opinion the light output on normal SuperDuty's suck if you plan on taking it off-road, these are a massive improvement.

Hell of an upgrade
I got a good deal - its not brand new (has 40k miles), and I didn't want a 6.0l or 6.4l based on everything I have read.
