    Go online to Carvana and do an online appraisal. You may be surprised. They just offered me $10,000 more than I paid for my 2019 F150 1-1/2 years ago. There’s no obligation to sell it to them.

    Thanks, I was torn between this color and the bright blue. I am glad I went with this color and the two tone paint.

    We went with carbonized grey. We already have 800 miles just making excuses to drive the truck in 12 days. LOL!

    That is a good idea, I will have to look into it.

Big upgrade from my 2015 F-150 even though it did a good job pulling our trailer, not so good in the winds. Now I don't think my Imagine 2670MK will push me around in the wind anymore. Not to mention we have plenty of room for when we decide to upgrade our camper. Thanks to everyone that gave me advice over the last couple of years. Now I need to get 1000 miles on it before our first camping trip.
    Good looking truck. Thanks for your service!

    Thanks, I appreciate it. So far I am really impressed with the truck. I drove it yesterday to St. Louis to get a clear bra installed which is about 250 miles round trip. In the areas where I was restricted to 60 MPH the truck was getting 24.2 MPG, at 65 it was getting 23.4, on the interstate I sat the cruise at 70 MPH and it got over 20 MPG. For the trip up there it averaged 20.9 MPG with a headwind. Coming home I had a light quartering tailwind and it averaged 22.7 MPG. So far I am very impressed. It is actually better than my F-150 got with the 3.5L Ecoboost with 3.55 gears and 6 speed. This truck has the 3.31 gears and the 10 speed. The ride is just a little rougher than the F-150, but not much. Right now I have the recommended 60 PSI in the front tires and 80 PSI in the back tires.

    That is truly an amazing upgrade. Congrats though. Ford F-350 is a pretty solid choice for a towing vehicle. Mine was originally owned by my dad. I had to replace and upgrade a few parts including the dually wheels. As much as I want to upgrade to a more current rig, I am satisfied with Ford F-350's overall performance.
