Love mine. Just did 2600 miles from CA to SC. Averaged 20.7 mph which included some roads through rural urban areas.

I can't believe you bought a UPS brown truck!!!!
I really do love my truck. They have came such a long way, especially along the lines of luxury in the HD truck market.
A++++
For you guys/gals who haven't sat one...DON'T...You will fall in Love.

I'll let you know in a few weeks (1st trip to the beach in late May). I only put a 3 1/2" Readylift on & 35" tires, so it shouldn't be an issue! The lift uses all the stock components (ie shocks, springs etc...) so the ride is about the same. The truck does stop different and seems to "float" a little @ hwy speeds (heavier wheel & aggressive mud tire combo), but overall I'm real happy with the Readylift setup. I like the look & ride and now that I put the AMP steps on the kids can get in the truck it's all good. I just have to figure out my generator situation and I'm set!

Btw, I'm a die hard chevy guy (55 Bel Air, 69 SS/RS Camaro, 67 SWB truck), but when I went looking for a truck to pull the "stream" it was no choice. And that's after considering GM has 0% for 60 & Ford only offered 4.9%. That's how much more I liked the Ford and with 1200 miles I have no regrets!

This my F250 2010 2wd 4:10 gears V10 pulls great but sucks gas , 10.2 mpg at 70mph. I think it look good in front of a Airstream.

Duraflaps
Big Red has new Duraflaps. Briefly considered the Yosemite Sam Backoff's, but decided to go with clean & simple. Went with FF-2-11 in the front and FR-2XL-11 in the back.

John,
Are yours Duraflaps as well and were they the no drill install?
How happy are you with the mounting?

No drill install....
They are not quite 100% level - and they bend forward just a bit (the back set) - but once I stopped starring at them and used them - they look pretty good, are very functional, and I'm sure over time they will bend to the rear vice forward.
This is just the back - the front look great!
I think on the rear - it is the piece of mud flap that slides behind the wheel well, depending on how far down that goes, and where that cutout is, dictates the level\flex of the flap....
I know - if you didn't install them - what I wrote makes no sense....

Thanks - I'm Really Happy With It - Tows the 30 Airstream like it was made for it!
Looking forward to meeting you at a TAC rally soon.

Wow! That's a nice ride...
I hope it's not in the driveway because it doesn't fit in the garage!
I'm sure you'll find the perfect trailer to pull behind it soon. We'll look forward to the pics.
