Default new DD/work truck/ tow rig

This december i decided to get me a newer to me DD, I wanted a Duramax diesel but when i saw my King Ranch i just fell in love with it. It already has air intake and programmer, its giving me 19+ mpg on the high way,



and this is my other truck has been parked in the garage for months getting ready to come out and play again.

Great Looking Truck!
You'll be super happy with it. They're great trucks. I like the color scheme my buddy has the same color on his 450 Dually King Ranch.
Enjoy!

I guess I'm in the minority, I don't like the king ranch interior but the newer Fords are nice and have plenty of power. I'm assuming it doesn't have the dpf getting that kind of mileage?

It should have a DPF depending on the year. Plus MPGs should improve as time passes.

Most likely his truck has a B&W gooseneck hitch, the Fords exhaust goes really close to the bottom of the bed stock where it goes over the axle then when you put the gooseneck hitch in it has to be dropped with teh supplied hanger about 3" so the exhaust doesnt hit the hitch under the bed.

It does have a DPF stock but Ive NEVER seen anyone report 19 on the highway with a DPF in the Fords. They get horrible gas mileage stock but once tuned and the exhaust "fixed" they get what Id call respectable mileage.
