Could be white diamond tri coat in our future.

your going to waste a new truck purchase on a chevy.  shame shame   ;D just joking

In the midst of researching the perfect 4wd tow vehicle so I can beach-launch worry-free. Aiming for a white 2500HD, but who knows what I'll wind up with.

I have a white 7.3  F250 4x4, 4 door. I would not trade it for anything. 

My wife is shopping a new ride.

that's what I want is a F250 or F350 with a 7.3 although I know that means no "new" truck but you can find ones out there with under 50,000 miles on them.

A duramax / allison is a great combo. I have had 2 chevy 7.4 duallys. Enjoyed them both.

I looked for about 6 months before I found mine about 5 years ago. I saw countless beat up work trucks. Got lucky and found a clean fleet one.

What about this guy?

Being shy Capt!!  Congrats   

"Well it's settled: Bought a 13 XLT Super Screw with the Max Tow. Looks great. Somehow found everything I wanted. Mirrors are awesome, despite the fact they don't fold, I'm surprised dealers don't stock these."

Hey guys, yep...got a F-150 Eco Boost. Finally found a Max Tow with the 3.73 rear and upgraded suspension.

It's red to match the Sunsation and has a silver stripe on the bottom.

I'll get some pictures up after work! So far I like it a lot. Hopefully Bob can get my Sunny back together before we run out of water.

congrats Evan!!  welcome back to the truck word!  but I do have one question.  was the "Super Screw" option expensive? I may want that on my next truck.   ;D

Haha I just saw that too.

4x4?

Oh yeah, for sure. Being as I use Highland Lakes, even before the sign went up I would have said that's a requirement. Got an electronic locking rear diff too.

Nice

Congrats on the new ride

Congrats on the new truck. I'll be anxiously awaiting your report on your first launch at Highland Lakes. I cruised by there during the Labor Day weekend. Looks like they extended the ramp a little. Watched them launch a dry dock'er with their Blazer. Back wheels were in the gravel but the front tires stayed on the concrete. Water level was 621.23 that day.

I watched a few boats being pulled out at Emerald Point on Mon. It had just rained and the "ramp" was a bit soupy. All were 4wd 3/4 ton trucks and they had no problem. A couple even had regular street tires. Gives me hope.

The tires that come on 4x4 trucks do just fine. There is no need to get off road tires on a 4x4 to pull boats. Its the weight over the forward drive axle that makes the difference. Not how aggressive the tread is. IMO off road tires have an negative effect. They usually suck on wet surfaces.

A 3/4 ton and up is always a plus when towing. Primarily but, not limited to the heavier brakes and the increased durability of the bigger hub assemblies.
