Eco boost is cool and all, but you still got 1/2 ton payload.

My way of thinking is that the the F150 EB really gets a 3/4 ton pay load close to 3,000# with an 8,200 GVWR equals a truck that only weighs 5,200#, which means that you can easily have a tail that wags the dog.

That and it still has 1/2 ton running geat and semi floating rear axle.

Wow, cool Rayford. You did just about the same thing we did. I went from an 08 350 to a 13 also, and from SRW to DRW. Only went the SC because we couldn't fit a CC.

Looks great. Hope it's working well for you. Our's is great for us.

This is our 2012 Avalanche....I am sure you know all the specs, LOL

We had a 2003 and loved it. GM is making a big mistake by this being the last year for them.

Ok...I can't post the pic, LOL
