  1. I have a 22 F350 6.7 that had trouble with fifth wheel turning light when it was only a month old.You might laugh but I ended up spraying electrical contact cleaner on the truck 7 pin connector and it has worked fine ever since.
  2. Pilotpop , I just wanted to comment that I have had both the 7.3 gas and now I have the 6.7 diesel in a F 350 , and will say if you tow a lot you are going to love the 6.7 .
  3. What I did for my golden retriever is I made a box out of 1/2” plywood with a cutout around the console the same height as the seat.I then ordered a water proof seat cover that matches the interior.I put a dog bed on top of that and she has plenty of room and rides like a Queen lol.I left the box open ended so we can store things like fuel additives and paper towels and such.It works real well for us .Also I covered the box with matching material.The box is made the whole width of the seat.
  4. I have the same truck, and early on I had a fault and my right turn signal on the fifth wheel wouldn’t work .The trailer was less than a year old.I checked all connections but couldn’t find the problem.Then I got a spay can of electrical contact cleaner, I sprayed bothe the truck and trailer and everything works fine since.Hope this helps.
  5. It must be a software issue RT.See my post earlier, it seemed to correct the problem temporarily anyway when the engine is shut off and restarted.
  6. Saturday on my way home from Florida I was between Dothan and Troy Alabama, traffic signal up head was changing so I started to slow down and ease on the brakes.However there were no trailer brakes tried manual and nothing.I was far enough away the transmission and engine brake along with truck brakes allowed me to stop ok.I was in a spot that I couldn’t pull over so I gently drove with plenty of distance until I could pull off.I checked everything I could still no brakes.Finally I shut the truck off and waited 5 minutes and restarted it, and the trailer brakes started working just fine.Sunday there was nothing open to check the controller but the brakes were fine.So I proceeded on home stoping every 2 hours or so shutting the truck off each stop ,and was able to get home with no further problems.Going to dealer in the am.
  7. I run between 62 -65 mine is 13’5”” tall.Turtle I drive pretty easy don’t push it at all, and I do run an additive in every tank.
  8. I have owned both,2021 cc4x4 7.3 w 3:55 and 2022 cc 4x4 6.7 w 3:55.I liked the 7.3 , but I tow my fifth wheel a lot .It had plenty of power as far as towing but when towing up a grade it would downshift to fifth gear and really roar to get up to speed.Normal driving it got about 14.5 mpg,and towing the fifth wheel about 7.5. The 6.7 tows effortlessly.It doesn’t downshift unless it’s a pretty good grade, and is very quiet.The 6.7 gets about 19.5 with normal driving and I get about 12.8 mpg towing a 14000 lb fifth wheel.I like them both but for me I tow a lot and the 6.7 is hands down better for my use.
  9. I just did about the same trip maybe another 200 miles with mine (2022) with 400o miles on it and after I got here I filled the def tank and it took almost 2 gallons.
  10. I have a F350 CCLB 4x4 6.7 Lariat with snow plow prep and camper pkg.I honestly think the ride is very good.My DW says she thinks it rides very well.I have no regrets and am very happy with it.
  11. My 22 F350 CC LB SRW 4x4 6.7 has a payload of 4174 , hope this helps
  12. My original order was for a F350 XLT CC LB, after 6 weeks crickets. I decided to upgrade to a Lariat with more options.Two weeks later I was notified it was in production and was delivered a month later. Maybe mine was an exception I don’t know but it worked out for me.
  13. My 22 took 3 weeks to get to my dealer,it is only 41 miles from KTP.With all the shortages including drivers it just takes more patience.You will love it when you receive it !
