So first time towing the boat with the new rig is also the last time towing this boat. (Sold this morning)

my initial review on the truck is all positive. The 10 speed tranny was on point towing up the grade, and took the exhaust brake for a spin on the way down.

2022 6.7 is tuned better than my 2011 6.7 as far as HP/Torque and it was smooth sailing.

interior is - 10/10 , love the large infotainment screen and all the features.

now if we could just get all my supply chain problems out of the way I can start installing goodies for the truck.

Love it, @Stevo.  Truck envy is real.

Question for the 3/4 ton crew. Do you guys park in the driveway? Fitting in my garage is a prerequisite for any truck I buy. My half ton fits perfectly. 3/4 might be too tall with how they're building those these days. 

I've added another rack (like the one behind the boat) above the truck since this photo. My air compressor sits up there. My truck clears it by about 5 inches. Would hate to lose that rack. It's super convenient.

All of my 3500 trucks have fit in my 7’ Tall 9’ wide garage door. I did have to take out a closet in the front when I went to the crew cab long bed back on 04. Length fits by about 3” without removing the hitch.

First tow with my 78 Ford (2001 F350 axle and suspension swap, 460, 40s, 5.13s).  Definitely turned heads!  :)

The truck is awesome but that is an absolutely sick TXi. I love it!

Just picked up our '22 A22 4/29. Not sure I am ready to have this discussion with the wife, but the rig will probably need an upgrade in the near future. Rides smooth though!

Any idea what the tongue weight is with the trips?  

I think around 1100 pounds.  I got this suspension hitch which had an indicator to ensure the tongue weight is ideal. The company actually directed me to  a lower rated hitch (I think 16,000) to ensure proper function

Yup.   It’s a little silly actually. Can’t haul much with them back there but they look pretty great.

That thing is awesome, but are you at all worried about being WAAAY over payload and towing capacity with that setup?  A standard base model Raptor has 1400 lbs of payload, which isn't much.  Add in a sunroof and a couple nice interior options and you're down to 1200 or less.  Headache rack, light bars, 170 lbs of spare tires, 100 lb hitch, then 1100 lbs of tongue weight and by the time you add passengers, a cooler, etc, you're easily a thousand pounds over payload capacity, significantly over rear axle weight rating, GCWR, GVWR.  Towing an M240 blows way past the max numbers for any Raptor.  Not to be a party pooper since it's a sick setup, but that setup is an insurance nightmare waiting to happen if God forbid, something were to happen.

 

EDIT: it was pointed out to me subsequently that I'm blind and that your truck is a SuperDuty, not a modified Raptor.  Disregard!  :)
