    Nice! Congrats again.

    I was thinking about you and your truck today while I drove home from class. I did figure out how to get my truck to stop leaking brake fluid. -Just don't add any- :D

    Tire size and the weight of your foot have a lot to do with this...also, only the people getting awesome mileage are the ones out crowing about it ( ie you don't hear from as many of the terrible mileage owners)

    With small tires I see it possible, with any decent sized AT tires I'd be skeptical but impressed if it got it still.

    Actual calculations, not going by the computer calculations on board the truck.



    That said, a guy doesn't buy an F-250 for the gas mileage, and you knew this going in...it's an amazing truck and WAY more stylish than the older year models (read: MINE) haha

    Your right on Trev with tire sizes and such and how heavy of a foot one can have. I'll keep you posted on what I get for fuel economy as time goes on. This truck won't just be a hunting rig either but also a wood hauler and pulling my skidsteer around on short trips. It's my work truck as well. This 6.2 has got some snap to It too. Had a tough time keeping It under 65 on the way home.

    Thanks all!!

    My tacoma has been good to me but they are not worth the money they ask for them. I really wish I'd had bought an F150. Oh well, my taco is paid for so its spending eternity with me.

    Steve, that truck is baaaaad ass. Great looking ride.

    That's a beauty Shultzy.

    I have an 08 f-350 diesel...I love it. I'm also quite envious of those few little extra touches that the newer models have...lol (love Fords) The full console really makes the interior as well. Very sweet!

    Good luck with it.

    Bald heads and sun sensitive skin don't do well with moon roofs. LOL I'd have to keep the shade pulled.

    I hope I did everything right. This Is the 1st new truck I've ever bought so I wanted to do everything right and get exactly what I wanted. The sun roof was a must. Can't wait to test that out this summer. That's If summer ever gets here. Were In another winter storm as I type this.

    Good looking truck! A lot nicer than my truck lol, and the mileage-power ratio kills mine. 5.0/12 mpg vs 6.2/17ish, lucky you :D

    Time will tell with the fuel mileage. I'm just going by what a few others have said.

    Thanks iHunt!
