Got it. Any drone with that setup? Ordered my Godzilla this week. I am on the fence with regards to exhaust because we tow damn near every weekend from March thru Christmas
Nothing heavy, just some 4 wheelers. We've discussed getting a Toy Hauler RV but that may not happen until next summer.

Yeah, a little, but with how wide open it is, it's less than I expected. Going 70-75 MPH you will hear some, around 2K RPMs. But it's not bad IMO. Even my wife said when we are on the phone she doesn't notice it.

Nice truck. It sounds fantastic. The simplicity of that motor is special and was very much needed in the Ford lineup IMO.

Im in the market for a new heavy duty truck. The Tremor package is VERY nice and has my eye. In a few months i'll likely be in a new F350 dually or Ram Mega cab dually.

I tried to build an F350 dually online with the Tremor package but it appears that combo is not available unfortuantely.

Serious questions. How is the gas mileage? Does it suck down gas big time or not too bad?
Thanks.

Thanks.

I've averaged 12.1 MPG over the first 14k miles, a lot of that has been commuting into downtown Austin with some stop and go traffic.

But I'm good with that mileage. A heavy super duty with a 445 CI V8, 4.30 gears and 35" tires won't be fuel efficient, but it will be fun :)

I think @ON D BIT gets better mileage in his 7.3L Tremor than I do.

Gotta love the 7.3 Tremor, though.

Stuff like that won't void a warranty.

Now, if the rear bumper starts discoloring, it won't be covered under warranted because more than likely it's from the exhaust...but if the transmission goes out, etc, it will be covered.

Interesting. I assumed that if you have motor issues and it comes in with aftermarket exhaust it's the easy button for them to say "well you modified the vehicle away from the OEM components designed to function together" or some BS like that.

No, not necessarily.
