I like the color. In the sun it is definitely brown but when it's cloudy, it has a hint of gray. I like the truck. I'm averaging 13 mpg which I don't think is bad for a truck this size. My previous Toyota Tundra averaged 15 mpg.

I'm getting 13.8mpg (hand calculated) @ 70mph 100% highway miles (empty), only at 1600 miles so as the miles get on I may see some increase in mpg but if not, it's no big deal.
I'm very pleased with the 4.30 gears/the ride of the F350/the feel of the F350 compared to my then F150 when towing. It sure does tow excellent and so easy, isn't working hard at all compared what the F150's 5.0L was doing and I'm getting higher mpg while towing with the F350.

13.8 with the 430's, sounds like the lower gears don't hurt mileage any. What are your RPM's at 70 or 80?

2450/2475 @ 80, hard to really tell with glancing at the tach but it is under 2500rpms.
4.30s with 18 in wheels.
