looks like a good new truck! Keeping your gas bill paid for is worth the swap in my book.

Thank you and thanks everyone for the compliments. being able to keep the gas card is a huge plus and i was willing to part with my superduty to do that

I hate to break it to you but your still going to have a high gas bill. My trucks got the 5.4L and it's not even lifted like yours so I assume you'll get worse gas mileage than me. 700-800 miles is still going to cost you $200+ a week. My 4x4 gets about 260-280miles on 20-21 gas (city/hwy mix) which is about $70-$80 bucks. All highway, I can 300-310 miles. 700-800 miles is about 2.5 tanks for my trucks so that's pretty close to $200 bucks. I would have kept the diesel and purchased a small used 4 or 6 cylinder truck for 4-5k.

I like your lift on your 2003 though. The superduty was better in my opinion.

I would have kept the superduty had it been a diesel but it was 5.4 and i was doing minimal driving with it and spending that much. the truck was averaging about 12 mpg 14 to 15 at best on highway. so far this truck is averaging about 18 mpg with the 5.4. it does have cold air intake and programmer along with dual flowmasters. Trust me if the F250 would have been a diesel i would have never got rid of it
