don't mean to snuff your candle but I had the identical truck w/ 8' bed (2010) and one of the reasons I traded was the gas mi.(10.5 city) Had an awesome ride & towed great!
Good luck with it!

No its all good,,we took it for a shake down ride the day after 285 miles round trip and I averaged 13mpg not towing,, Not to bad for a full size truck.
I bought it for piece of mind towing knowing I have enough truck to haul all of my stuff safely is my main goal.. I find it strange that people buy a TRUCK and expect car gas mileage. My Impala gets great (to me) fuel mileage for a big car,, My truck weighs close to 7000 lbs and has all the horse power I need,, If I can get 10mpg towing my 5000lb trailer and all of my gear 1500lbs +/-,@60-65mph I will be satisfied, Nice part is I know if I want to get there faster and step it up to 70-75mph I have that power,, knowing fuel mileage will suffer.
Bought a truck to do truck stuff,,, is what it is to me.. Thanks!!

then you're going to love it!!!

Some worry about posting a plate # on the internet. Still haven't figured out why.

Congrats on the truck!

congrats on your new truck! Looks like a nice one!

True story; ten years ago I walked out the door to go to work. My '87 Bronco wouldn't start, so I walked right back in the house and went back to bed. A few hours later, after the wife had gone to work I went out, poured a little gas in the carb, and it started up. I drove it straight to the dealer and made a deal on a brand new F150. Leaving the dealership I called the wife and said "Hi Honey, guess what I just bought?" Even though she had gotten her new car a year earlier she wasn't amused. I still hear about it today, but we laugh about it now. Needless to say, she was with me when I bought my new one a few months ago.

Anyway, enjoy yours, I hope she gives you many happy memories.

weighed all of my crabbing equipment tonight and measured everything,,, Found out I had an 8' bed... Thought I bought a 6'6",,,, Okay,, the deal just got a little sweeter!!! I thought it was a little tough to park!!!

If I brought home that Truck my wife would be wining and dining me plus doing a few extra things that I can't mention on here because it is a family site. She loves a nice truck.

If I brought that truck home Liz would think I had been replaced by an alien duplicate!
