In the 62 to 65 mph range on our flat highways I'll peak out a little over 10 mpg. How about posting some pics of that bad boy and congrats!!

Thank you very much!! Loving it! Getting Line X put in on Monday then Highway Products toolbox on Thursday then 5th wheel hitch from my old truck next Friday. Here's a few pictures. It's only a XL but has a few upgrades. It's all I could afford.

Shoot man, don't sell your self short saying it's all you could afford! You got an awesome truck bud. Looks great, like said some window tint and your good to go. It'll keep the heat down a ton. Enjoy it and keep adding pics

Thanks guys!! Love the extra room with the crew cab as apposed to my 05 Super cab (extended cab) Only thing I wish I could of gotten was a back up camera. Although the wife said she is gonna get me one (she can't back it up LOL) Was going to take the old mud flaps off my 05 trade in but they would of looked to beat up on this one! Window tint and mud flaps will be coming though for sure!

I think it was a good move to go with the 4.10 gearing...I think in daily driving it helps accelerate these big heavy beasts easily...I'm up in 5th or 6th before I know it and dropping my rpm's quickly. On the hwy I'm finding 62 to 65 mph or 2K rpm's to be the sweet spot for crusing. I bought the Ford mud flaps from the dealer...not cheap but what I wanted.

Didn't think they can sell it without mud flaps. It's required safety equipment in every state I can think of

About 3 out of 4 dually's in Louisiana run with no rear flaps. Of course 3 out of 4 of our drivers drive with no insurance or driver's licenses either!!
