We Don,t Care
i have a v 10 triton 450 2000 model in my 31 foot c class camper,all this talk about fuel ecomoney .over here in the uk it is £4 a gallon $7 usa dollars its a beast of a truck and you must expect low miles ,well it is a v 10 ! In the uk they all use 2.8 desiels they do a true figure of 17 pg when loaded and when they get to a hill they nearly stop i **** past them in our truck and i never go below 75mph .i try to tell them i get 9mpg but they wont have it as there little sad campers only do 17 and they are nailing them haha you guys have some **** hot trucks and cars ,dont complain about fuel if it worries you that much get a bike, my mate in a fiesta gets 47 mpg but his friend only gets 45 so what 2 miles aint worth a toss

Ya i stopped by a local dealer and checked out a used KR and of course a sales rep came over and wife told him we're just goign to order the truck we want. He asked about it and i mentioned V-10 and he's like good motor's just sucks the gas. Looked over to him and asked him to show me a Hybrid SD. Cause less they've started making them there isn't a Full size truck that's going to get superb milage.

Welcome and have fun! To be honest I didn't even realize V10 Superduties were available in the UK but I'm glad to hear they are. Everybody should be able to have a BSEG!!
Are there alot of them? How about other 3/4 and 1 ton pickups...like maybe GM 8.1Ls etc??

Welcome!
And, honesty always hacks off someone. Good site with good people and information. Weed out the bragging and phoney opinions and use what you can. I'm always in trouble so don't feel alone.
$7 a gallon! $2.18 in the "Red State" of Kansas is a real deal. Yeah, right. Anybody know our national energy policy that was formed in secrecy?? Can't get a response from big Dick Cheney.
Ah, have a big V-10 expect to feed it big, right?
The best to you, bomber.

But, still, I must say, that once while on a trip across country I actually got around 15 MPG. Bad thing was after I'd coasted to the bottom of each hill I had to crank it back up and drive up another...
We're cool with it.
