Finally broke down and upgraded to the F250. After four years of watching the weight of stuff in the F150, nothing to worry about now. Big difference from 1600 lbs of payload to 3300~lbs. Now I jus...
After a 800 mile trip averaged 8.5mpg towing. A little disappointed. Hoping this increases as i put on more mileage. Traveling in town ~10mpg. Took on the interstate today and averaged about 13.5 not towing. About the best i can expect for a large V8.
BTW the only damage was the bumper and all repairs will be complete by Tuesday. Then I can concentrate on better tires and a sprayed bed liner and other personalizations.
