This thing is smooth.. Is the motor bigger..??? Sure seems like there is a lot more power

It's strange that I normally don't like to put a bunch of miles on my vehicles, but I really wanted to get to 1000 on my '15 F350 DRW so that I could check out how it pulled compared to the '08 F350 SRW.

We'll take another road trip this Saturday, maybe 400 miles or so.. then I'll hook up and pull the Cougar.. Can't wait.

I went and picked up my trailer from the storage unit today and brought it home to wash it and get it packed up. Going up to Lake Livingston, TX which is about an hour and a half to two hour drive. Should be a much nicer drive than my first trip with my new truck as I won't have to deal with the Houston traffic. You'll love pulling your 5th wheel with your new dually. I'm thrilled with how my truck pulls my trailer and as you said it's a smoother ride and more power than my 2011.

The trip home today was only about 15 miles but I could definitely tell a difference from my F250 on the same route which has some rough areas and some really nice smooth areas. I am still going to install a Trailair, Mor/Ryde, or similar pin box on my trailer as I think that will make it just about perfect and make the longer trips a little more relaxing.
