Thank's Coy...nothing wrong with my '11 that had only 37K miles and not a scratch on it. Ecoboost with the 3.31 pulls a lot better then my 5.0 with a 3.55 from a stop. Show's it can tow up to 9200 lbs with this rear end so that's plenty enough for me. Put close to 200 miles and averaging 16.8 with about 10 minutes of idling time.

Thats exactly what my first tank was, 16.8.. By the 5th full tank i was flirting with the 20mpg mark.. Bet you will get close to that also with the 3.31 rear end

Most I'll have to tow is about 5K pound's at the most...my two son in law's have gotten new truck's in the past few month's so I'll let the one with the 250 diesel pull the heavy load's!

I got a little over 20mpg with my '11 with the 5.0 and 3.55's running the 55mph limit's around here. Of course that's before I put the big tires and leveled it! I plan some long trip's with this one so I'll leave it stock for a while.
