I’m a Classic Man

Hello, hope this finds you all well. I’m not new here, have been on the road in my 2015 FC 25RBQ for several years now with a few different tow vehicles along the way. I’m going to miss my 25RBQ, I really think the double ender ducted 25-27’ is near perfected AS design in most scenarios.

But, I’ve upgraded this year.
2019 Classic 33
2019 F350 6.7

Hoping it provides all the joy the 25’ did!

Best wishes,

Spartanguy

You will love it. We went from a 25 to a 30 and it makes a world of difference in comfort when you are stuck inside due to the weather.

Good match up! You should be very happy if you get the hitch dialed in. Let me know how parking it is...going from a 25 with a 1/2T to a 28' with the F250 presented me with some challenges. (still does, at times) But, pay attention and make sure someone (wife) is watching to help and you should be fine...don't do like I did when i first got my 28' and back into a pole, not even feeling I had hit anything due to the power of the 6.7L...wife not there and took a good 6 months before she calmed down...lesson learned!

Just tell her those are aero mods to optimize the vortices.

I haven't bent my AS yet but did clip my passenger side mirror while pulling out of a park and not paying close enough attention.

Congrats! You will love having that diesel in the mountains. Out of curiosity, what hitch are you using?

A ProPride, but I honestly miss my BlueOx, I was just familiar with it and liked it. I may go back IDK.

Congrats! We love our F350 diesel. Had no issues in Utah, etc. this spring. Love the Propride so far, but have never used anything else. Enjoy your Classic and truck.
