Truck is now a little over 2 yrs old and no problems so far. Still getting 15 in town and 16-17 mpg hwy depending on speed. Towing this heavy camper it gets about 9 mpg @65 mph. Only 22K miles so far and real happy with it! Pictures are from camping sites just west of Galveston, Texas.

Haven't been on here in awhile so I'll give a 3 yr review on the truck. 29K miles and has been trouble free so far. We've been towing the camper about once a month going on 3 or 4 night trips. Grandsons love going camping and its the reason we bought it. The factory Michelins are holding up great and no reason why I shouldn't get 50K miles out of them. I've been running Motorcraft 15W-40 oil recommended by the dealer...running a Motorcraft oil filter also. Only $99 bucks at the dealer so I get it changed about every 6 to 7K miles. Air filter's and fuel filters are expensive but not recommended to change from 15 to 20 thousand miles. I get my fuel from the local Shell truck stop that is owned by a distributor and delivered with their own trucks. Never had a fuel problem and still getting 15 to 17 mpg on average...9 to 9.5 mpg towing our heavy 5th wheel @ 62 to 65 mph on the hwy. I'm well satisfied with this truck so far and still use it for daily driving. Not as bad parking and making turns like some people say!!

Entrance to park...grandsons loved it!

Squeeze in between the pine trees.

Lots of room in this camper.

I really would love a truck like that.

Nice setup!

Thanks...most of them down here are used for hot shot's or farming. Many people like camping year round so a lot are used for pulling large campers. Very common in SE Louisiana.
