So yea, here's my new vehicle. It was my dads truck, but he recently got a new company truck for his new job, so i got this one, and i ain't complaining.

took some pics after I washed it today.

So yea, its a F-250, 7.3L Power-stroke, plus its got a turbo chip that added like 70 hp, and 100-something ft.lbs of torque. So, it'll move too, lol.

its a step up from my old truck, which was too small for me, and seriously lacked power with a lil 4 cyl. Plus, driving a stick was getting old.

Anyways, felt like sharing, flame, discuss, whatever..

And for the record, yes, I do live in the middle of nowhere.

thats cool man. more towing capacity (if that was ever a problem) probably a LOT roomier than that other car

btw, i see your license plate

***Dooms*** · October 31st, 12:51 AM

Ah, the 7.3L is a good engine, hang onto it. The new power stroke is junk.

**RunningRioT** · October 31st, 02:55 AM

gas much? :P

Good thing your new truck is a lot bigger!

indeed, its a beast.

towing capacity, yea, quite a bit more, plus i have a gooseneck trailer hitch in the back too.

gas much? no, its diesel.

congrats on the new ride

**dfdtrumpet** · October 31st, 08:39 AM

nice, not a huge ford fan, but the 250's a good sized truck, it should last you a while

**kant_think** · October 31st, 08:42 AM

Lmao a JT sticker.

Nice truck, I've got a 2500 HD Chevy so whe're alot the same.

**PoisonMushroom** · October 31st, 08:42 AM

Holy crap...that is a HUGE engine... What's the mpg for it? 10 maybe?

**david_4x4** · October 31st, 10:47 AM

He should be seeing 20+ hwy and 15-16 city, could also be seeing more.

Not the best, but better than the 10 yall are throwing out.

**DaBluedevil** · October 31st, 01:59 PM

Exactly what I want if I go powerstroke.

**bobide** · October 31st, 02:25 PM

i don't think there are many things out there that ur truck could not just roll over.

***Dooms*** · October 31st, 02:37 PM

I could roll over him.

**bobide** · October 31st, 02:38 PM

ssh dooms, u don't count. U've got heavy construction equipment.

***Dooms*** · October 31st, 03:07 PM

Hehe, the Blazer would make it over him. But, I would rather use the Fiat.

**pballa12** · October 31st, 03:08 PM

wut is it like 100 bucks to fill ur tank? my aunts boyfriend has a pimped truck its huge and cost 120 to fill

**tmaxx_2.5** · October 31st, 03:13 PM

it gets 18ish mpg i think, maybe more. Bout the same as the other truck, it could barely get 20.

And another thing, that chip cut out the limiter, so it just goes as fast as it wants, we've had it up past 100mph, the needle going down into P RND12, and it was steadliy climbing even more, prolly would have made a circle, lol. I guesstimate like 140 or so, it was kinda scary goin that fast in somethin that big. oh well, its cool.

I wouldn't try it. Diesel internals aren't meant for high RPMs.

RPM's weren't really high either.
