    Or a little better. We have the 10 speed trans in our '21 7.3 F250. It has LT275/70R18 10 ply tires on it. Not towing, at freeway speeds, we can get 16+ mpg, pulling our 35' camper 8k#+ up to NW GA mountains last year, we got around 10, coming back down we got 13. We usually get pulling dump trailer with log loads.

    Hey now, I'm enjoying my zero truck payments.

    That said, it's great to hear this.

    Not yet, but it may be the one. It checks all the boxes.

    I have the green light to get it but I'm going to do a little more looking and thinking over the weekend. I know I only created the post a couple days ago but this has been several weeks in the making.

    I don’t like any vehicle until it’s been paid for at least 2 years..
