2013 F350, 6.7 Powerstroke. 42K miles, bought it new over 2 years ago. It's been a great truck and I'll buy another one. Bone stock and it will haul ass, pull a load and is comfortable. The most powerful stock truck I have owned.

I upgraded the XL steel wheels with 18" Ford Lariat wheels I bought off Ebay. What is everyone running tire wise in the 18" size? It's getting time for tires and my BFG's have been great just want to see what else is out there.

I have been running 18" BFG Trail TAs at 80 PSI on my 06 F350 FWD and averaging 50,000 miles per set. The best tire for snow traction I have came across. Often loaded to the max with no failure issues to date. I am changing my F550 FWD to the same in a 19.5 when I need tires next.

Thanks. The roller was a rental, as was the dinky dump trailer to haul it in since they were out of tilt-beds. I do a lot of gravel ranch roads/driveways and parking lots so I usually line them up to roll as many as I can in a day.

On the truck note... I love the Cummins, but after owning the Dodge/ Ram for awhile it feels pretty flimsy compared to the SD. The Ram's body panels feel like old Coors cans.

I run a Ford F350 also. I bought one in 2011 and traded it last week for a 2015 F350. Only problem I had with the 2011 was the urea tank froze and broke a nipple off. Guess it was my fault as I had filled the urea tank to full for January in Minnesota...lol.
