very cool Gerry.
I just got back from the wifes family reunion on a farm in the Mayfair area... At one point yesterday evening there was 14 Ford Trucks and a Mustang in the yard...I'm hoping someone got pictures...
On another note, borrowed a 26' bumper pull travel trailer from my buddy, weighs 6600# or so (didn't weigh it but sticker says 6539# rolling out of the factory, so with our junk about 6600# or more). Truck hauls it like there's nothing there, but the fuel comsumption is a tad rediculous...probably an average of 9.5mpg over the entire trip...

Yeah it's like dragging a piece of plywood through the wind...

it is low. Matter of fact, its rediculous. I love this truck, the motor and the power it makes is awesome, but throw something behind it or stick it in the wind and it absolutely scarfs down the fuel. I'm going to take it to get checked out this week I think. Even empty driving around town it doesn't get more than 13-14mpg...I could have kept my '08 and got more than that without a payment... For this mpg and payment I might as well have a diesel...

Good morning folks.
Have a good time at the Carlisle truck show and a safe trip back Gerry.
What would your 08 have averaged when towing under the same conditions and around town Sherm?

I never towed a camper with my '08, but the empty mileage was better. I'd easily get 16-18 in town and 22-24 on the highway...
