New Ford Duallys are 6+ months out?

[CarterKraft]

my 6.7 10-speed runs really hot.
new to me 7.3 10-speed runs about 20 degrees cooler. 🤷

Both my 6.7's ran 200 on the dot. 198 when unloaded and 202 pulling.
Are you +/- 20 off that?

 

[CarterKraft]

I was at 8.2 mpg towing 17k lbs at 55-60 mph with the 7.3 gas and 4.30 gears.

As we have discussed that's pretty attractive for a -$8k powertrain package burning 25% cheaper fuel.

6.7 usually sits between 205 and 215. 7.3 was picked up yesterday. in the 55 mile country road back, it hovered between 185-190.

Granted... it's cold here now.

This was driving home yesterday in 25-30° weather on rural roads.

203 MPG! You win.

 

[Clastic]

As an aside, all those Ford trucks sitting in storage without chips, wondered if they ever got chips and hit the market?

183-187 on the 7.3 in eco mode. 1/2 highway, 1/2 city

Stopped by my dealer yesterday to inquire about '25 order banks...
They laughed and said ordering a high trim level '24 F450 might easily be a 12 month wait, now.
They still have orders in waiting over 12 months...

So... I might be ordering a '24 soon, they said they will order at X plan price again.
I did find out though the King Ranch that I want won't have massaging seats, which is possibly a deal breaker.

I'll ask my buddy who lives near Royston. There was a grass pasture full of SD trucks. I wonder how they kept the mice out?

Ballerkraft and Gunballer1 is spoiled!

 

[Southernfriedcj8]

I wish I had massage seats like you straight white privileged male toxic cocksuckers.

And FYI no 7.3 option for 450 King Ranch or above... only 6.7 Std and HO in KR and Platinum and HO only in the limited...

Dang man I'm starting to feel bad now,
Nah no I'm not
You can buy my '22 when it's time, the tires will still be good on it and it gets a documented 15+ mpg...

Y'all need to stop worrying about seats and do something about those gastly wheels.

This is the solution I think, old man paint and proper wheels...

Yep. Thems pretty wheels.

I love my old man paint and non-GM abortion aluminum dually wheels!

Dealer told me the massaging seats are done. Blamed it on chips… said ford is giving up and dropping them as an option

Picked up my new F-600 cab & chassis yesterday. Really not happy with the governor set at 76mph.
