3,100 miles, and very lousy fuel economy. 15-16 highway at 65mph is about the best I can do. In town it's more like 12-13 at the best. Bump it up to 70mph on the highway, and it gets 14mpg.
Problems/issues from here to Christmas with this truck. Idle stutter, all kinds of electronics issues, tranny/shifiting issues, and of course the terrible MPG...if I wanted to get 14mpg, I could jump in my old 77 F150 with a 400 and a C6 tranny and be more confident that it would get me where I'm going.
The truck is comfortable, nice to drive (when things aren't going haywire), and has lots of nice features. Because of all the issues with this truck, I no longer have trust or confidence in it, and find myself wondering every time I get into it...."What's going to go wrong today?"
I'm waiting on the dealership to call me to bring it in, and if they can't get it straightened out, I'm hoping they offer me another truck. If they tell me they cannot find/fix the issues, I will either be selling it, or ask them how much they will give me for it as a trade in.

Also, nice website! VERY nice pens, I'm a sucker for a great writing instrument.
