    Leveling 2008 sierra f255 for new 2019 F350 I take delivery of a 2019 F350 on this week, replacing my 2012 f150 TV for my 25' Sierra 5th wheel. I didn't think about the height difference (not a smart move, I know), and expect to be nose high with the new truck (it's noticibly higher, as...

    A sample 2019 F350 SRW Platinum

    So... I have been poking around a bit, possibly looking to upgrade the TV as we also pull a sizable boat. If we buy, we want to buy with some future proofing included, so skipping the 250 and going to the 350. I thought maybe some would be interested in another sampling of door stickers from a...

    Occasionally get a funky exhaust smell in the cab. I'm assuming this is DEF smell during a regen cycle. In any event I don't think it should be entering the cab. Anyone notice this?:confused:

    Bed height on a 2016 F350 SRW

    Anybody out there have a 2016 F350 SRW 4x4 that is stock height and can give me a measurement to the top of the bed rails. I am looking at a used one right now but it appears to be lifted and I am trying to figure out if it is in fact lifted or if it is a leveling kit.

    Height of new F350

    Presently own a 2013 F250 and am upgrading to a 2019 F350. I tow a 5th wheel and my concern is, the box of the new F350's and even the F250's appear to be 8" to a foot higher off the ground then the model I presently have. My truck and trailer ride perfectly level now. So I'm assuming the new...

    Bed height on newer F350

    In looking at newer Ford F350s, it seems that the bed height is significantly higher than my 2011 F250. I’m wondering if my Cedar Creek would end up nose high with a newer truck, and the impact on bed clearance. Any feedback on actual experience would be appreciated!

    Theories - 2015 F350 Wont Roll in Drive

    DW hopped in our 2015 F350 on Monday morning, backed up, put it in drive and something made it not roll fwd in D. DW theorized that something was binding rear wheel(s). She tried all kinds of things but never got it rolling forward. Ended up backing into a parking place to get it out of the...

    New F350. 7000# GVWR Trailer (2509S). WDH or not?

    Truck on order (gas CC shortbed). Payload and tow rating nowhere near capacity. Will I really want a weight distribution hitch? Anyone happy without? Plan is to try first then buy if I think I need one, but thought I'd see how users with similar rigs feel.

    Towing Learnings - A review of my F350

    Wanted to share a couple things I learned on our 6400 mile trip from Dallas up to Rushmore, Devils Tower, Glacier, Yellowstone, Park City, Colorado and back to Dallas. With lots of wide open country driving, and plenty of mountains to contend with, I really got a chance to learn this truck...

    F450 vs F350

    Considering moving to a dual wheel tow vehicle. While I don't need the specs of the F450, I'm considering it due to the potential for wanting a bigger trailer, the turning benefits, and the brakes. The downside, as I see it, is the mpg hit due to gearing when not towing and ride comfort...

    2014 F350 - New tow vehicle

    Picked this beauty up yesterday. I was really leaning towards getting a Ram 3500 MegaCab SB SRW but we found this one and couldn't pass it up. It's a 2014 F350 PowerStroke Platinum Edition SB SRW with the FX4 offroad package. It only has 25,000 miles on it. It's got 11,500 GVWR, comes with 3.55...

    06 F350 diesel SRW up it?

    I’ve been eyeballing some of the new 5ers. Dang these things are big. Looking at a Columbus 377MBC or similar. As big as these 40’ trailers are is the SRW up or it or do I need a duelly? I tow a 35’ Rockwood 8327SS all over the place but it’s a bumper pull. Of course the truck is paid for...

    2017 F350 SRW different tow ratings

    I am looking to upgrade to a 5th wheel toy hauler. I really don't want a DRW vehicle as I want to drive this vehicle when I'm not towing and don't want the size difference. When I look at the Ford towing guides, I see a single rear wheel F350 max fifth wheel can range from 12,200 all the way...

    I am potentially going to purchase a new 2017/18 Ford F350 6.2L gas, 6 speed auto trans with all the uprated towing stuff I could find. My question is whether or not to buy the 4.30 limited slip or the 3.73 non-limited slip? This will be pretty much a tow vehicle and NOT a daily driver. My...
