F650 XUV and 350 Picture
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have both. I use the 350 as my daily driver, but the 650 XUV is impressive for towing/roadtrips with the family. Looking forward to receiving my 44 ss skater on august 12th and wrapping the 650 to match.

This picture will show the size difference.

Our 650 is awesome. Drives great as we do have the kelderman airbag setup. For us was the "wow" factor of the truck, the towing capacity since we also have a 39 Yellowfin, the long range of towing without having to stop for fuel and a huge plus was the air brakes since we tow a lot to runs which is far from our home base just like Greg is. I have never had issues at the ramp but i also have no need to back up the rear tire into the water. Everyone is saying that they are loud and they are ONLY at idel. We have the C7 which is an amazing motor, but if you are looking at 2017, you will not have the loudness motor. Keep in mind the 2017 650 has the same motor has the 2017 350 (6.7 Powerstroke) has but with REAL heavy duty rear ends, chassis etc. Many of us will not get rid of ours as they do not make them anymore with C7. Hence why all the older ones hold their value. I drive ours ALL the times as it is fun, head turner, turning radius is INCREDIBLE. Better than most cars and certainly better than any truck. Like i said before the long range fuel is great since it has twin 107 gallons saddle tanks (keep in mind that's an option as they do not come like that straight from Ford) and the airbrakes. The exhaust pipes on the bed are dummies. Just for show as the Skater would show up black if they were real. The cabin is the same as the 350 which is what i don't like. In that department i like the FL much more as it is more spacious. Like Greg said, if you end up going with a 650, send me a message as well and id be happy to discuss more with you.

Not to hijack but lets see some pics of this Skater on 8/13!!

We also pull with a 17 650 - everything said is spot on and most importantly there's no way it could be my daily driver.

Matt that's because you drive your Veyron daily.

I'd rather drive the 650. :cool:

You rather drive your mini van.

Hey, at WOT you can empty the tank in 12 minutes. Seemed like a reasonable purchase to me....
