You will have to move to Iowa. The desiel is only $2.80 and dropping. Although this makes it $.67 more than our 87, that's still not too bad.

I didn't see any like that....
I'm no fan of chrome, but it is close to silver so it blends into the silver bottom.
And my coloured bumper on the F150 was chipped to ****e and rusting already, so I think the chrome was the way to go anyway.

Too bad Thumper, I don't think this truck will get to haul a CRF in the back (remember mine was stolen )... now I don't think I can afford another!

My fifthwheel trailer was too much for the F150
So far, with 200 miles on the truck, I'm getting 17.5mpg's. My F150 never got better than 15.5

Nice truck though
I have to agree with Nico. I love the Super Duty's but they don't really get that much better mileage than the F-150 and the extra cost for gas and oil changes at $75.00 a crack keeps me out of the market for one. Now, if you do a lot of towing or hauling of heavy loads, you have to have one.

Guess it depended on the truck Mart Man... Mine was averagingin about 13.5.
So far with 400 miles on the 250 I'm staying at 16mpg

Towing I would get around 8... can't wait to see what I get with the 6.0.
Plus the torque this thing has.

I hope they bring a lot of F150 features over.
I really miss the mirrors, the headrests, the center shift....oh, do I miss the center shift.

Those are about the most perfect truck mirrors ever on these superdutys. I wish I could retrofit them to the other trucks.

The passanger side isn't a "objects are closer than they appear" kind of mirror.
While passing, with 30 pounds of boost , I can't see the Dodge untill I'm way past.

I used to work at a dragstrip, just a little one back home. fridays were "race what you brug" nights. There was a 2005 red 4X4 dually, four door with the 6.0 and it ran 17's in the 1/4 with the dealer tag still on it! I had a bout 25 miles on the odo.
