That is a nice truck. I have the same tank in both my trucks. Makes life easier.

Re: Let's try Gray now ...
The 36 gallon tank is nice, except when you got fill it 
I filled up my buddies 2020 this weekend (we took his truck to the PBA Bowling event), and it was a shock when it got to 24 gallons

Re: Let's try Gray now ...
Yeah it's a shock sometimes but you're burning the same amount of fuel just having to stop more often. I put 32 gallons in my old truck once lol
Re: Let's try Gray now ...
When I got to Indiana, I was really glad my truck didn't require premium. 
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Re: Let's try Gray now ...
I need to look and see if Ford still recommends 91 when towing with the Ecoboost, if it does I'll probably just run it full time like I did on my old truck.
Re: Let's try Gray now ...
I run 91 here in town, and I'd probably run it when towing to make sure the engine was running at its best. But there was a $0.50 difference between 89 and 93 in Indiana. Fuck that.

Same here in Arkansas, and I have to run premium all the time in the RS.
My buddies truck has a tune, and he’s got a couple different ones, one for 91 and one for 87.

Posting this here for future reference so Chris can find a homelink visor.

Re: Let's try Gray now ...
Went to move funds around to ensure the check for the down-payment cleared and discovered there was a hold on more than half the funds from selling my old truck 
Now on the phone with my credit union, and then will have to talk to the dealership

How can it take that long to get the funds in this day in age is beyond me.Chris GTO TT wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 4:17 pm Went to move funds around to ensure the check for the down-payment cleared and discovered there was a hold on more than half the funds from selling my old truck

I deposited $500 CASH a few weeks ago in person, inside the bank, and it still wasn't available to my account till the next day. How the hell does that make any sense. (note I was inside the bank to close my old accounts)

Re: Let's try Gray now ...
My credit union said I had to get confirmation from the buyer of my truck's credit union the check cleared their accounts. Then I can take it into a branch to get the funds released. Meanwhile the Ford Dealer scanned the check in yesterday, since their office was open, so it's already been submitted to the bank. Meaning ,depending on how things go, there's a 50/50 chance of bouncing the check 
Re: Let's try Gray now ...
I really like the looks of this truck. Glad it can now meet your hauling expectations.

This is literally their job, and they want you to do it. It's a wonder to me that bank branches still even exist.Chris GTO TT wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 5:00 pm My credit union said I had to get confirmation from the buyer of my truck's credit union the check cleared their accounts.

Re: Let's try Gray now ...
Yeah and not only that it's from a credit union who is part of the same credit union network my credit union is from. I brought that up and they were like "oh well they won't release who the check was made out to, so you have to get that info."aaronatstate wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 6:02 pmThis is literally their job, and they want you to do it.

I may just pay the $20 for an instant wire transfer from my Ally savings to my credit union. Even though it doesn't really matter long term the potential of bounced check bothers me.

Re: Let's try Gray now ...
Just so dumb that I can instantly transfer my CC limit via paypal, but a paper check from a bank to another bank (or credit union) takes DAYS.Chris GTO TT wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 6:08 pmYeah and not only that it's from a credit union who is part of the same credit union network my credit union is from.

Re: Let's try Gray now ...
After waiting around the bank for 40 minutes I convinced the teller supervisor to release the hold because I had the original check order stub.
