Getting ready to order a new 2015 Superduty gasser...
Currently have a Black 2011 F250 XLT Crew Gasser...love it! I do have a few minor issues with it though...
1. It's a bit long for plowing (I only do my own long ass driveway and help out others here and there)
2. Too long to fit in garage!
3. Black is beautiful, but keeping it clean and blemish free is a *****!
4. Cloth absorbs way too much of the food that misses my mouth!
Sooo, while I have some decent equity and it has a little value, I'm going to trade up to a 2015 f350 ingot/Magnetic 2 tone Lariat Gasser. I'm going to get a supercab to shorten things up a little. So my questions are :
1. I notice the sound system in the lariat supercab is listed as only a 8 speaker "premium sound system" where the crew gets a 9 speaker "Sony premium system". Aside this extra wherever speaker, what is the real difference?
2. I have 3.73 gears now in my xlt. I had 18's on it when I bought it, then I slapped on some factory 20's I grabbed on ebay. Had computer adjusted for 20's too. I definitely noticed a lot more downshifting to 5th going up grades and a significant decrease in fuel economy. Thinking about getting 4.30's in the 2015. I don't really tow much. I commute about 45 miles roundtrip to work a 3-4 times a week, half of it being hiway. Can anyone give me some real world numbers on fuel economy between 3.73 and 4.30 gears? Is the higher rpm difference noise with the 4.30's more detectable in cab at hiway speeds than the 3.73's?
3. Is the navigation option good or more of a pain in the ass? I do use navigation on my dash mounted Note 2 cell phone a lot, so I thought I could eliminate mounting my phone to the dash now!
4. Why the hell is the disc player only CD??? Would of been nice to have a blue ray player. Will the system play videos from usb, sd card, or via Bluetooth?
5. I know there is devices to disable the safe lock so video cannot be played while in motion, along with the ability to turn on camera while in other gears beside reverse. Anyone have experience with these units, and any suggestions on which ones might be better?
6. My xlt sync system will play any audio coming out of the phone when in "Bluetooth Audio" mode such as rhapsody of getting directions from a route in google maps. Will the Bluetooth audio play audio with other apps like Rhapsody in the same way it does with Pandora similar to my xlt?
Thanks
