2016 Super Duty 6.7 F 250 FX4 XLT

It's all DW's fault!!! She just had to have this new AF TT. Turns out with the quad, gear and TT I was 18000 gross land the 6.2 was really struggling on our mountains. How bad was it struggling? 5.5 MPG!!!! In it's defense the passes were very steep. Low gear and 10 mph. Plus it didn't handle very comfortably. Lifted on big tires the TT tried to shove it sideways thru the corners.

I started out to get a Super Cab long box which would have ended my TC as it fits a short box only. At the last minute I couldn't do it. There are too many places I like to go only a TC can get to. But my aggressive TCing is over and I miss the old truck all ready!!! Oh well, I really like this new truck. Took it for a 50 mile freeway drive, set the cruise at 70 and the DIC read 18.9. Even if it's off a couple miles sure beats 10 on a good day!!!

It is staying stock for a good TV but I will probably personalize it a bit. Nest week goes in to transfer Super Hitch, tie downs and air bags from old truck.
