What should be expected out of the 09' HD with the new motor revisions, and 6 speed transmisions.
11 scares the heck out me, I am looking at converting 2 of my 06' F250 6.0 PS diesel reg cab long bed delivery trucks with lift gates, over to the new 09' F150 HDs with lift gates. I am getting about 16mpg out of my diesel fleet of F250s, I was hoping for something similar with these Gas F150s now that they are getting 6 speed auto's. The new diesel psds are not getting near the mileage as my 6.0s and they cost a heck of lot more now, so I am thinking same payload caps and 10-12 grand less money, and they burn a lot cheaper fuel to boot. The cost advantage is now gone for diesel, with retarded epa regs forcing the cost way up on the motors, and the ultra low sulfur fuel as well, the advantage is just gone, if you really didn't just have to have the power for the application.
