You made a good decision. You never know what you might want to tow in the future. Ourselves, we went from a trailer to a large fifth wheel in 9 years. You never know

X2 on the good decision! I got caught up with a "not enough" truck to meet future demands by the DW. Next time I ordered a truck with near twice the needed capability. And now she's talking about a larger, heavier trailer after two years... This time I'm ready; saw that one coming!

My 2011 F150 5.0 stayed at 14.5 MPG. Not sure how anyone could get 21-22? When I upgraded it to a 13 Raptor 6.2 the best I got was 12.5 MPG.

Sounds like you ordered a nice truck, post some pictures when you get it. I have the 6.2L with 373 gears. I think it performs well, your setup should be better.
