I'm hoping to do this as soon as I can. Next time I get down to OH will probably be around the end of the year. Monster-4, i eat hybrids, and I are planning on doing it again!

Of course I'd love to meet anyone in the Minneapolis area to compare if anyone's interested.

Looking forwards to the next pulling event... Texas is just too far.

I10 has some good ones I have been told.
There are none in are area for sure. 2222 in Austin is the closest but it would not work for what we want.

Looks like I answered my own question.



This was after a 43 mile trip to work. I'm really impressed!

It would be really interesting to see how much better the 6.7 does against the 6.4 too.

I just finished a 1000 mile round trip up to Sioux lookout, Ontario and averaged 17.9 mpg. No towing but had four guys and looded with gear. I can't complain.

So far I am getting between 17 and 18 mpg. I only have 3600 miles on it. I was told it will get better mileage as it breaks in. What a nice truck 2001 F-250, long bed, extended cab, 4 x 4, XLT package FX 4. the sticker was over $55K. I also added the extended warranty. I put a Pace Edwards roll top cover on it. Also had the bed Rhino Lining sprayed in. Step in the tail gate, back up camera (nice), large console between the seats. 6" side step rails. Electronic locking diff, downhill engine brake, dual alternators, rapid heat option. These last two items I would not normally purchase. Has the 120 volt AC inverter at the rear of the console. Push button pedal adjust, partial power front seat. 18" wheels. Large power mirrors, power extend, and fold back. Sound like the one you are getting?
