Off Road Use
Yesterday I went to my property in Belmont County Ohio about 160 miles from where I live. I took down 160 gallons of water(in a big plastic container - Tote) to water the trees we would be planting. The truck ran great down to the propetry and back. I got 12.64 miles to the gallon of gas.
The best part of the entire trip was the mudding I did. The truck went everywhere, up and down steep and wet inclines, through brush & tall grass.
My brothers 99 dodge 1500 got stuck in the mud and I pulled him out. I went in the same path he was stuck in and went through. Talk about him being mad. (he hates Fords)
The things that I don't like is the big turning radius and that the front fog lites are not covered by an inside fenter well. There's a ton of mud in there. Well I need to wash her now.

The handling was fantastic. Alot better than the 92 f-150 super cab I had. Other than feeling the water slosh back and forth the ride and pick-up from a stop or passing others was great. I got 13.42 mpg.

I went back to the property last weekend with 1300lbs of brick in the bed. I need a bed liner soon. The trip was great. Pick-up and passing far better than the 92 f-150 I had. This truck is by far one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.

I went back to my property on 5-2 with a load of windows for the cabin we are hsving built. The carpenter's truck, a '88 Ford F-350 Diesel Dually, radiator blew up about 3/4 of a mile from the site with a full load of wood. I towed him to the property. The one hill gave me some trouble untill I put it in 4x4 low. The hill was muddy and steep. This truck is "AWSOME".
p.s. I replaced his radiator and hoses in an hour.

The F-150 SuperCrew has the 5.4l engine in it. I haven't been driving it much because work has me going around 70 miles one way. (I bought a little foreign thing that gets 40 mpg). I went down to the property again, blue w/ silver must attract TURKEYS because there were around 30 to 35 around it when we woke up. Come on autumn.
