My New F350 Lariat - Diesel Forum

MPD56 · 03-02-2008, 01:23 PM

Just Picked my 2008 F350 Lariat 4x4 3.73 SRW on Friday an hour before the Dealer closed in a snow storm. Then I drove it home to show the DW, and a hour later I drove it to work (12 hr night shift) in a white out snow storm. When I stop grining and calm down, I hope I can consentrate and drive it. It's my first Diesel and 1 Ton. The DW said that this is the first truck that I bought that she is going to need lessons, in an hour her first lesson will start(LOL).

Ordered 12/31/07
Built 02/11/08
Delivered 02/26/08
Pickup 02/29/08

AGAIN: I'd like to thank all the great folks on this site for all the advice and support in picking this F350. I know I have learned alot about ordering the right one for me, I now have a lot of learning about owning a Ford F350.

Best Regards MPD56

I have a Job #3 and was thinking of getting the 3.55, but the folks on the Trailerlife.com site suggested the 3.73's. The Dealer said I still have the choice. I looked online at the Ford's build site today and you still have a choice in Canada. Only have 200 miles on the truck so we will see when I tow.
