Test drove a 2011 F350

[rknight111]

Something with the motor, he says it has alot of lag around town but is good on the highway when towing.

I was suprised when test riding how little if even any lag they had

You can get a 2008 Porsche Cayman SX51 for that, or how about one of these babies...

Aston Martin Vantage

I know, I know....not a truck but I could see myself driving a mid 80's Ford and still have one of these in the garage.

Just Sayin' (Bogger 2010).

Better be a damn nice truck for that coin!!

I'm with you, that car is awesome:d

Ron it only had a 120 Km on it. Wait for another 50,000 Km. Then what. Ron remember the truck you have now Problems from the start

love the new super dudy. driven lots doing pdi's seem to go pretty good. we havent seen any problems with them yet like we did with 6.0 and 6.4L. but still i would wait till job 2 trucks come out and have all the programing updates done. Like the update that bumps hp to 400hp.

 

[Transporter]

Mine seems good Ive had the update, 400HP and 800ft pounds of torque. I think I got around 5000km on it.Mileage is around 16 us average. And about 9.5 US pulling 12000 pounds.

75K for a truck is just a little steep. Sticking with the ol 07 Harley for now.

ya $75000 is way to much I bought a brand new fully loaded 2010 dmax with navi and sunroof for $58000. but i did see the test comparison between ford,dodge,and chev and gotta say the ford was the only one who kept up with the new dmax i'm glad they changed the 6.7 around from the previous twin turbo 6.4 and the dreaded 6.oh oh hahah. gotta say great looking trucks this year!!!

 

[Transporter]

Yah well $75 000 MSRP means about $55000 to $60 000 when you go to buy.

 

[mb1]

Well I say if he's not going to keep it untill the warranty runs out anyways, who cares if it has issues?

For my money I'd rather get a 2 yr old rig and put a few dollars into mods to get a truck that looks unique and will put that Aston Martin in it's place too.... Haha that's just me. I like all the new rigs, haven't been in any of them though.

 

[RMK Junky]

It's unreal where the prices of these trucks are at anymore. Untouchable for most dual income families.

$75,000 + 5% GST = $78,750 / 5yrs(60mths) = $1312.50 for a monthly payment. This is just the simple math.

This doesn't include all taxes, life/disabillity, insurance premiums, and no $$ down. Pretty tough pill to swallow for most.

well i stoped in a ford in portland oregon and they had a f 350 full load even with nav for $59000 and a limited ford edge with every thing was $40000 and they had 2 shelby mustangs in there a kr and a 350 looked nice and the price was right :d a little cheaper over the border

Hi Guys
My 2011 lariat 6.7 turned 20000km today, the only issue is I can't drive it more. This truck goes to the bush every day, if you guys know the Krd, the Old Conklin rd etc. thats where I take it to work. It's a keeper.
I put 330000km on my 07 Outlaw and it was good, but nothing like this one.
PS paid 61000
See you on the trails
Don

picking up my 2011 kingranch dually in one hour . Absolutly every option and it came to
$ 66.789 cant get rid of the 2008 dodge fast enough. I put lots of money in my dodge, and it was beautiful but its not even close to this new ford in looks and ride. My only beef if the gay ass stereos that come with new vehicles. Cant they make them rock. My buddys harley ultra glide came with better sound

you obviously didn't get every option then cause i have the sony system in my 09 and am quite impressed with it for factory system.
And i have had lots of aftermarket stuff in other vehicles to compare with.

No offence, but you butchered your dodge in looks that is why.

Good luck pulling with your ford, they will not pull to save their lives compared to the Cummins. HP/TQ numbers don't mean much when it comes to pulling.

And guess what, you could get a 2011 dodge loaded right up for $55k OTD. Spend $13k right and the dodge will ride and look 10x better then the ford.

Yer the man, dodge stools, I mean rules. They all got their pros and cons my powerstroke has around 500 rwhp and just under a 1000lb ft of torque. It does ok. Cummins lost their king of the hill status with the switch to the 6.7. The new superdutys are just plain awesome.

Agreed I heard a JL stealth box under the rear seat at 500w and it blew me away. Sub bass needs it's own level control. If you have enough you can make the stock system sound great.

Tried the 2011 Kingranch this week...nice ride and nice interior. It seemed to respond pretty quick while rolling along but still had a terrible turbo lag while starting from a dead stop?? I was kind of surprised @ this as the new Chevy and Dodge seem to spool up almost instantly...Definetly wasn't impressed with the power...Thought with 400hp and 800ft/lbs of torque it would be more impressive. I tested all 3 this week and the ford didn't seem to be anymore impressive then the Dodge when it came to power and wasn't even close to the Chevy...Mind you all 3 were empty and it would be interesting to try them all in the hills with a big load on. Good luck on whatever you chose to ride as they all drove nice and had lots of comforts in the cab...It comes down to the best deal now for me.

diesel power magazine just did comparison of all 3 in oneof their latest issues. Empty, medium load and heavier load. Chevy/gmc cleaned up in every category, ford was second and the dodge was severely underpowered loaded or empty.
