Got my first diesel!

Picked up my first diesel Saturday.  2019 F350 xlt CCLB, Ingot silver, only got to drive it home from the dealership I purchased it from(200km). Had to leave town for work for a couple weeks. Really enjoyed the drive. Coming from a  2011 F250 xlt CCSB with the 6.2L.  It was a fantastic truck but it was time to upgrade, can’t wait to tow the fifth wheel next camping season. 2E13054B-078F-46B3-8F30-E68EF33A1224.thumb.jpeg.9c41b9b247096c90ad0fc2721e305d36.jpeg

That fuel tank is something else, fuel gauge didn’t even come off full on the drive home.

 

You must have the 48 gallon tank.  I have the 36 gallon in my 3.5LEB.   It's nice seeing 700 miles to empty but when it is empty and you have to fill it up you might have to take out a personal loan or a second mortgage!

I definitely don’t park close to the store I’m going in, usually at least halfway across the parking lot. I’m more concerned about getting door dings from others though as I have no problem backing the truck into tight spots when needed. No regrets here at all with my purchase, I use it to pull my 9k lbs fifth wheel which it does with ease, and it will pull my next one as well when we decide to upgrade in the future. If you tow much you will enjoy having the 48g fuel tank. My last tank of straight towing was 700kms/438m and still had a quarter tank left.

Year one with the new truck has been great other than having to replace the windshield already and some recalls that have and still need to be checked out. I only managed to put on 10.7k km’s/6.7k miles, mostly due to work allowing us to take our work trucks home.  The ride is better than my 2011 and it pulls the trailer great. Really impressed with fuel mileage loaded and unloaded, I keep it under 110km/h.
