New 3711FL and F350 Tow Vehicle
Officially took possession of the 2016 3711FL yesterday and hooked it up to our 2005 F350 Superduty Crewcab shortbed. Didn't have to raise or lower the hitch head, and the Mor-ryde pinbox was exactly where it needed to be and the whole rig is level. We must be living right. I measured the truck at the wheel well before hooking up and it only dropped 2" when we hooked up the Montana, which is 1/2" less than the Wildcat we traded in.
Everything that was in the Wildcat was moved to the Montana before we hooked up so I can't explain why the truck didn't squat more, other than the load is balanced better. The Montana pin weight is supposed to be a bit more and it's about 1,000lbs heavier overall. We'll take it across the scales at some point. We drove it home about 100 miles and I couldn't tell any difference between towing the Wildcat and Montana, other than the big grins on our faces.
