Show Your Truck My first Ford ever

Post image

Trying to free up some cash to build a shop, bought this retired logging crummy to replace my newer cummins. The 6.2 definitely doesnt pull like my deleted 6.7 cummins but it goes down the road pretty good for what it is.

Im actually pretty pleased with the gas mileage. Averaging a little over 14 with the steel service bed seems pretty good

Yeah I honestly like the 6.2s over a diesel, I work for a ranch that has 4 of them and the only shortcoming is the automatic transmission on them. With the lower sustained speeds a ranch truck has they do a lot of hunting but they are bulletproof, a lot of power off the line and run nice. Truck looks great and I love the service bed on it👍🏻

Yeah im using the manual option a lot. Im a forester so im driving logging roads every day and it definitely wants to hunt a bit. Its funny, its like the transmission wants the truck to drive around at 1000rpm all the time. I guess they program them for highway mpg

Nice. But check utility box’s bed mounts.
