I think you might notice a slight difference in towing and handling

If nothing else, the big diesel truck turned my white knuckle feeling from a 10 to a none.

You will like it.

Great looking truck! That will be a night and day difference.

Congrats. I went from side of the road with an overheating V8 F-150 to being careful not to speed accelerating up 7%, 11,000' grades in 5th gear (Ike Gauntlet). You're going to love it. The 6.7L and 6R140 is one of the best towing combinations of all time.

Good call on the magnetic two-tone.

I like my trucks to be two tone. Looking forward to towing our TT at some point.

How do you put your truck and trailer info in your thread?

Very nice truck. The 2019 F-250 is a great truck. You will love the way the 6.7L tows. Keep us posted as you get the miles on it before towing. The manual says 1000 miles before a tow, and a lot of people will tell you not to worry about it. But with $70,000 at stake, it doesn't take that much to get that 1K requirement. And it will give you some time to get used to things!

Guarantee you will not stop smiling the first time you tow with it. I went from a V-10 Excursion with 4.56 gears and tuning and was honestly comfortable towing with it to my 2018 F-350. This truck is amazing. I set the cruise at 70 mph with our Freedom Express 320BHSLE (10,400# GVWR) and it hardly ever even downshifts. My
Towing experience is actually relaxing now and that was with the jump from a well equipped big gas engine. Jumping from a half ton will be even more of a change.
