My dad has a moving business and it was time to give his old truck some rest and get a new one. His old truck is a 95 F-350 with over 525K miles. This truck will now be used for in town moves along with his 4 other trucks. His new truck is a fully loaded F-450 King Ranch.
He already has over 500 miles on it and he loves it. He can't believe how smooth and powerful this truck is. The only issue he has is the goose neck is on back order from the dealer and he wants to take it on his next trip this week.
It looks like he will have to use his old F-350 on more time [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Just talked to my dad and he has already used it for three short trips with about a 20K load. He has over 2000 miles on it and has only had it for two weeks.
So far he is getting around 11 MPG loaded and 15 MPG empty. No bad for a 9500 LB truck with 4.88 gears.
