Like I said, I don't know how the fuck it happened but I was probably drafting a semi or something. That would be my guess at least. I can nurse it and get 24 to 25.

If I'm towing my 19 foot enclosed in line in reads 11 to 12. Trans temp towing is about the same also...maybe a few degrees difference. It's really not that bad of a truck. I'll admit I was concerned with the V6 at first but it's a full size truck for a daily driver so it's been great. It's only a lease so mpg and reliability is all I really care about. That and a lower monthly payment. All this with even having square wheel wells The eco boost is a v6 and its an awesome motor where ford guys are concerned.

My 2015 Ford F350 with a 6.2 engine will read over 30 mpg if I reset the computer while going down a hill but it doesn't mean anything.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would let them go to the vultures at auction. 100's of thousands of Americans would lose their jobs...never to recover. Its wrong but it's what trump would do. is that sort of like deciding what dealers get to stay open biased on historical political contributions then force a sale to fiat? like that ?

Yep, they've had that "discount" built in for a while. Anyone who buys a vehicle without getting 15-25% off MSRP is nuts. Invoice, dealer hold back and rebates. Any combination of 2 of the 3 should get you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
