If you drive 67 rest your trip meter and recheck the fuel. I have also confirmed the 21+ mpg on fill ups. In town combined I average 17+ and when towing a 7000# load at 65 it does drop to 14. But keep in mind going above 67 does cost you fuel.

Oh yeah, and new broom. (there's still more I can't remember.)
All this fit ibehind the 3rd seat. still had a small amount of room.
I dare ya to do that with anything else.

To JHooch.....
You hit on a couple of things I had been wondering about. I have a '99 F250 Ext cab. I was new to Fords when we got it but now would have no other. I feel I would like a Expedition or an Excursion but don't know enough to make a wise desision. I carry dogs showing, vet etc I also have a two horse trailer (fat horses) so I will plan on towing. I drive 12 hours to visit my children. I am 5 foot tall but love my trucks. Do you have any words of wisdom?
