Nice truck. You're going to be looking in the mirror to see if the camper is still in tow. I understand the 10 speed tranny is fantastic.

Beautiful truck! I hope that some day my '06 6.0 turns into a truck like yours. ��

Beautiful truck. I had the first gen 6.7L and it was a towing beast. I can only imagine the gen 3 power and Fords 10 speed transmission is a game changer.

Nice truck!

Our next truck will definitely be a 1-ton single rear wheel.

Did you check out the F250 and F350 death wobble issues prior to buying? I talked to a guy last week with a new F250 that had the death wobble. Plenty of videos on YouTube to see the wobble in action.

Is there a fix yet?

I had a 17 F350 dually and now a 20 F350 single. No issues with either. My understanding is the wobble concern is with the 17 thru 19 models and Ford has issued a service bulletin to replace the steering stabilizer if it occurs. My 20 is solid as rock without a hint of bump steer. The steering does feel tighter and more solid than the 17 so not sure what Ford did. I keep up with a very active 17 and later Ford Super Duty forum and every once in a while someone will post about it.
