It seems that most are happy. It is glad to hear! 16 mpg for a superduty really isn't that bad. I get around 15 in my durrango which is about half the weight. 6 to 8 towing my tt and that is at like 55 mph! About a year till I can make my purchase. I can't wait a used 08 to 10 is what I will be looking for!

151,000 as of right now, I tend to average 700-1000 miles per week all towing work trailers or our RV camper.
Trouble Free? That's a hard one to answer, I could say that I get 35,000 - 45,000 miles of trouble free service. Look at it this way: Radiator change interval is about 35K miles on my truck. It's like getting an oil change for me. Right now I have a new radiator but I am losing coolant on the back of the engine, it leaks right on the front drive shaft u-joint. I have not figured it out yet. So, it's all coolant stuff for me which is not a real big deal because she has not left me stranded yet.
Otherwise, yes 151,000 happy miles - driving the best truck I could find. It's towing manners are unbelievable. Never a gasser again for me.

I bought mine in january with 24,000 on it and now have 32,500 on it and have been quite pleased with it. I tow my enclosed 24' trailer to the motocross races every weekend. It weighs about 5000# and my trips are 1-2.5 hours each way. I get about 8 mpg. @ 70-75mph and 10mpg @ 60mph towing. Don't know what it will do empty on the highway because I haven't done that yet. Driving around home is about 14mpg. Other than dead batteries right after I bought it, and a left rear caliper hanging up shortly after that, I haven't had any problems.

Have and '09 F250 CC with 17,000 miles and have never been back to the dealer for a warranty repair. In the winter I use it to plow with a 9 1/2 foot V-blade and otherwise it is used to pull my toy hauler. Unloaded I get no better than 15 highway and 12 city. Get between 8 and 9 mpg with pulling my toy hauler. Love the truck.

It's called a Lock Pick... It takes about 25 mins to install. Just pull down the dash pop out the nav unit and plug this in. Plug and play.
