The second is more a real reason. The first is just vanity.

As far as ford manf... I do not think so, I do know the dealer will install though
Yeah i agree on this....... Drive a new deisel and then talk about the noise it makes, newer deisels are actually pretty quiet
Cold temp would be the only true concern
That is something I will hand over to the eco boost, its scary quiet
No truck is gonna get great mileage towing a significant load.
with my boat in tow my silverado 5.3's usually got 11-14ish, my diesel got 14ish, 10 towing a gooseneck with 2 jeeps, etc. silverado towing a boat I was 7-10ish, diesel with one jeep was 13ish
towing mileage is always pretty rough
duramax typically gets pretty good mileage. Those are good honest numbers.
My brother has 3 6.0 HD's and gets 11 in all 3.
Nice! Why the tint?
Kids hate wearing sunglasses. Everytime I look back they're squinting in the back seat. Plus the white paint looks good with tinted windows. (I'll justify it for the kids tho)
I'm honestly surprised at how nice the Ford drives. I drove one back in 2009 when I was looking at the Tundra and I did not like it at all.
This weekend will be its first road trip when I go to Fernie to race the Diggler. I'll get to see how it wheels a little bit since the shuttle road is a little gnarly.

Are those Duratracs? How do you like them?
We tinted the Sportwagen and are really happy that we did. It keeps everything much cooler in the summer here. We went to the Colorado legal limit - >27% light transmission. My wife was just saying recently that if we were to do it again, she would want one step darker.

They look like Duratracs.
I've had a set on my truck for about 30k and they've been great.
Zero vibration, even wear, didn't need much weight to balance, US made and track great on the highway.
A little loud (relatively speaking) around 30-40mph, but engine/wind noise drowns out their hum for the most part.
Amazing in deep snow and solid in the off-road I see (nasty old logging roads to hunting camp, beaches and construction sites; no 'real' off road)
I'll buy again if I stick with aggro tires.
Big fan of the tint here, too.
It's key on wagons especially.
Props to Narlus for showing me the light
They're duratracs. 305's on 20' rims. these are my first set of duratracs, I've always run BFG AT's and liked them. The road noise is about the same no noticeable vibration. I got them because they're rated for the snow and we get at least 5 months of snow here.
This truck is whisper quiet compared to the tundra even when your foots into it, I did have dual exhaust on the Tundra tho. With the windows down you can barely hear the turbo on the ecoboost and in the mornings I have to look out the to see if my starter worked. I was able to hear the Tundra start even if I was at the back of the house.

Drove my dad's for the first time the other day. Pretty impressed.
Duratracs are an absolutely awesome tire, your going to think you have four personal snow plows when you drive in the snow.... the snow will fly off them like you have not seen before. Keep them rotated though, and they will last. That is one of my top selling tires here at teh bottom of the hill for those up the hill<big bear, running springs, crestline, forrest falls angelous oaks etc>.....
