2006 F150 to 2015 F250

2weeks ago I posted about the F250 I got on Black Friday sale
I now have a 1000 miles on it an and have a few thoughts
When it had 500 miles I did a little 4 wheeling on the Bradshaw trail .went 120 miles with about 60 in 4wd.
the locker worked great,as did the lower 1st gear in the 6 sp.

the skinny 245-75-17 tires were better than I thought,ran them at 30lbs.
the tire pressure system is a PIA.I wish I could delete it.

what surprised me was the milage was no worse than the old F150
Im getting 12.5 around town 17 freeway @65 and 15 mixed,this is empty
I like the6 sp and the fact that you can see what gear you are in
I have been busy adding
torklifts for my camper which is still in the garage
Step bars
Sirius radio
put in my garmin and installed my scan guage for digital readouts
and to monitor the voltage


old F150

The old F150 was a great truck and was adequate
the biggest thing the DW and I noticed was how good the brakes are.
