F350

Just parked our new 2011 F350 in the driveway. I feel pretty intimidated in its ability to overwhelm me with technology. I got the Nav system with it. Going to take some study.

Yes will be interested in the MPG. There are some amazing numbers being stated over on the FTE forum.

Rich, I was a bit disappointed in the mileage I was getting on the way home. About 18 at 70 t0 75 mph, same as my 05 6.0. Both did much better at 60 mph as you may suspect. I drove it about 200 miles.

SRW? DRW? Long/short bed? Crewcab? Color? 4x4/4x2?
Pictures. We need pictures!
Those are some great looking trucks.
The mpg should improve as you put some miles on it and get it loosened up.

Looks like the GVWR has not changed from the earlier trucks specifically to the SRW. Truck is pretty well the same except for the engine and tranny, plus some interior mods. Oh and the hood went back to earlier style where the grill is stationary.
Would be interesting to see what your truck weighs with fuel, luggage, and passengers. My 09 King Ranch SD long box CC 4X4 dually is close to 10,000 lbs when we get all our "stuff" on board. I then have about 3500lbs for load capacity.

What is the Cargo Capacity. It is on the sticker under the one you quoted??
The build your own truck part of FOMOCO does not have that information.
