    F350 Diesel, 11,400 lb. GVWR package

    I have a ‘20 F350 Lariat (+Sport + Ultimate) Tremor, but with the gas 7.3, and mine has a 11,300 lb GVWR package applied to it. It also has the power running boards. I didn’t order it, just found it on a lot and bought it, so unsure how it came to be configured, but I wonder if there’s some...

    Tranny temps?

    It’ll do 85 mph all day on normal grades when not in the mountains down in the Denver area. Trucks have come a long way. Consider that a 2007 F350 dually diesel was only rated at 17,000 lbs (Non-SAE J2807 - so if it were re-rated against modern testing it would probably be even lower) towing a...

    Tranny temps?

    Came back over through Eisenhower Tunnel again and saw temps hit 241 again at around a vmax of 57 mph pulling the ~13k lb trailer, temps outside were in the mid-60s at the 10-11k ft elevation. The 7.3 generally does alright but definitely runs out of steam as the atmosphere thins out. More...

    Tranny temps?

    Saw 241f briefly pulling my 37’ fifth wheel up Floyd Hill outside Denver on I-70 today. Not encouraging. I saw the trans temp gauge move from “center” to 3/4 as it climbed from ~229 to 241.

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    Yup. Just eyeballing the grill shapes I saw that and called it out to the dude on eBay before I ordered and he mentioned he would be working with his suppliers to get a 2020+ grill but no timeframe.

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    No FORD grill available yet for the 2020 Super Duty near as I can tell. I had an exchange with an EBay seller and even being based in the US he wasn’t aware of the difference in the ‘20’s grill contours inside the headlights versus the 17-19 trucks. If anyone is aware of one that fits, I’m...

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    Received the Bushwacker smooth fender flares yesterday and mocked up what they would look like on the truck: Ignore the fitment/gaps - they're not actually installed on the truck. I like the look personally, gives the Tremor the Raptor XL look I'm starting to aim for. It might need bigger...

    Heavy Loads & Hauling with the Tremor

    Towed the 311BHS last week for the first time home from a dealer in Cheyenne back to southeast Denver suburbs. 7.3 and 10 speed are a great combination - no issues towing and in fact I feel it exceeded my expectations. The only detractor is low mpg but it’s very capable. It gets ~11 mpg...

    Console Floor Shifter Conversion

    re: Raptor paddles, yup, that's what I did this weekend. Heated wheel harness came yesterday, I'll get the paddles figured out soon.

    Console Floor Shifter Conversion

    Man, having come from a Raptor, I can’t tell you how much wasted space that pointless shifter in the console takes up - and now having the column shifter and a useful cubby I much prefer the Tremor’s setup. Respect for the work undertaken but each to their own

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    Put a Raptor wheel in the F350 this morning: Vastly better than the pleather unit that this truck came with. Curses on the person that didn't order the what, $165? deicer option on this truck so no heated wheel either. I also replaced the clockspring unit and am waiting on the steering wheel...

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    Brought the 5th wheel home yesterday, truck towed very well, maybe better than my expectations.

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    Hope so. I’n going to do some surgery myself. Looks like other SD people have swapped over the Raptor heated leather steering wheel with paddles. Time to play with the Ford Legos..

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    ^^^ completely agree, thank you. (One of my dogs tore his ACL as I helped him escape from the dog run but we got him TPLO surgery last year and he recovered well.) Ordered some Bushwacker smooth fender flares for the truck today, hoping they fit. With that said it says on their site that it...

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    Love it, thank you for offering to share your experience and camp sites - going to try to get a trailer figured out in short order and meanwhile one of our first trips may be to meet up with some friends also engaging in some social distancing at Lake Powell. We actually looked at a Black...

    Replace seats?

    My first impression of my Lariat’s seats and leather and especially the pleather steering wheel is that none of the above are as nice as the Recaros in my ‘19 Raptor. As they both sit in my driveway for just one night I had idle fantasies of swapping the interiors... I understand the cabs to...

    ‘19 Raptor -> ‘20 Tremor

    Hi all - recently my family and I have been discussing going on a ‘social distancing’ tour of the American West as our kids aren’t in school, I can’t travel for work, and our house is continuing to be rebuilt after a house fire last year... As such, the ‘19 Raptor I picked up last July after my...
