New to me anyway. Wednesday evening, I traded my 2000 Ford F-350, crewcab, diesel, 4X4 dually for a 2011 F-450, diesel, 4X4, dually with 76,000 miles/122,310 kilometers. My 2000 was a second level trim and accessory package. I was a work truck. My new truck is Lariat, the next to the top of the line in trim packages and accessories. So far, I am getting 14-15 miles per gallon in the city vs, 11-12 with my 2000. I am on the road now; thus I will know what kind of fuel mileage I get on the highway.
This new truck has all kinds of bells and whistles. The 6.7L V8 turbodiesel engine is much stronger than the 7.3L in my 2000. It produces 390 horsepower and 735 ft/pounds of torque @ 1600rpm . It will pull a load. The transmission is a six speed automatic with manual mode. It automatically gears down when stopping to greatly aid stopping a heavy load.
Standard features: Block heater, auto-locking hubs, power heated mirrors with turn indicators, front tow hooks, trailer hitch receiver, chrome grille, air conditioning, heated/cooled leather seats, cruise control, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, auto-dimming rear mirror, front and rear under-seat storage, trailer brake controller, AM/FM/CD player with MP3 capability, cargo box light, outside temperature display, tire pressure monitor.
Options: 6.7L diesel, electronic 4X4 and off-road package, navigation system, power folding and telescoping mirrors, tow package including fifth wheel mounting, power locks, electric sliding rear window, electric moon roof, and more. It has five 12volt DC outlets and one 120 AC outlet (inverter).
This should be the last truck I buy in my life time.
