i think every day i like it more, its a awsome machine..... one thing im wondering though, how do we keep the urea from freezing in the winter, and if no way, will the truck shut down when its cold? anyone know?
So guy asked this same question to the enginner when they were at my local dealer. Apparently the Urea doesnt start injecting until after the motor is to operating temp, so that would give the heater time to thaw the urea....
That's cool, I would like to think that it wouldn't be an issue. It would be pretty crappy for Ford to forget to take that into consideration! LOL
I also am glad to see that there are only 4 owners who are "OK with it" and dozens and dozens that are VERY HAPPY... I am quite sure I'll be in that category when I get mine.
i drive 2 of them for work, a lariat 350 and an xl 550. they are INCREDIBLE machines. i really like every aspect of the trucks, the power and overall driving characteristics are great. the interiors are very well thought out, and even the xl is a decent and comfortable interior.
Just traded in the red 06 for a 2011 lariat crewcab.it is a nice truck to drive.I will leave this one alone for now lol.very happy with the controls and the comfort of the ride.:ford:
Love It. Trying to get used to slowing it down into a corner. I'm alittle to use to my Lightning that's was only 3k lbs. It sure does have power to get it moving. I still can get over the torque it has when accelerating from 45-60mph. For such a small turbo it hauls the mail!
I have to agree with all of you on the overall performance and comfort. However I'm at 10,000 miles and it's seems to have stopped getting faster. But anymore it seems moody, meaning sometimes you floor it and it will flat move other times it seems to not pull as hard. I do know that racing an SCT tuned 6.0 ( exhaust , intake , and 120 hp tune) that I can walk away from him until about 75 mph going up a steep grade

I have to call BS on that one. I have raced my brother's 6.7 with my 6.0 on a 70 hp tow tune and they are dead even. Both trucks are configured exactly alike with the exception of his 3.55 gears to my 3.73. From a dead stop to over 75 mph he has not been able to pull more than a fender on me.
I'm not joking, his truck is a crew cab long bed , mine is a crew cab short bed. And from a 30 mph roll I can pull half a truck and hold that on him. 65-70 he starts to pass.by 75 he's pulling away. Ive wondered if he's playing with me but I'm guessing not by the smoke and sound of the truck. Remember my last truck was an 05 CCSB with gearhead tunes. We will try and do it again and get in on video.
I voted just OK, mainly because I expected a little better fuel mileage, other than that I' as "HAPPY as a PIG IN SLOP" with everything else about the truck!!
Better than what ? whats your in town and highway averages?
Oh yea Nice KingRanch !
