Yes they are, you put them on with soapy water. Have not tried to take them off yet, have chrome ones waiting to go on.

I think I only paid $12 for 2 sets of the tailgate stickers, and the same for 2 sets for the dash. Very cheap to make, only about $1 worth of material per set. I also got the ones with free shipping.

I was considering a 150 ecoboost....... read up on the ecoboost forum. ....mileage varies quite a bit. When they get good mileage (hiway) its great, when they get bad mileage (working, city, towing) its worse than SD's.

I'll just stick with my 5.4L for now. She doesn't get the best mileage, but I still love my truck.

Your right. I was thinking about the ecoboost also but when I saw people put a load on it and their milage I felt the same way.

I just took a nice couple hundred mile highway trip. At the high point it was 14.2. Consitantly that is. My normal daily to/from worn driving is 11.5ish. I'm very easy on the pedal too.

That's 1.5 to 2 miles better than I would get with the V10 around town. But I loved that truck.

I just pick up my new truck where i work. It is a '12 Supercab longbed with the 6.2. It is 4x4 with 3.73 gears. Right now it only has about 300 lbs. payload. It has the crappy stock General tires on it. I drive 99% highway. It has about 1900 miles on and according to the cluster, my mileage is 13.2. I have not checked it manually yet. i am sure that it will go up as it gets a little more broke in.

This seems to be more of the norm then not. That's about what I get.
