Wow, almost 20 mpg....
and it's not even broken in yet, now that makes me jealous.
I love my "old" '08 5.4 CC 4WD, but the best economy I've ever seen is 17-18 mpg while wandering on secondary roads with few hills at 60 mph or so (empty of course).
If Ford can eek that much power/economy out of this mill, imagine what they could do with a medium size turbo diesel - they might even get me to trade!
Drive in good health!

I read the other thread up to where you posted this pic of your truck and maybe a few posts after, and I'm glad to see your wife is doing fine. Much better to see her hit that cliff in the Super Duty than in anything else.
Those SD's sure are tanks, as it seems to prove time and time again.
Can't wait to see the interior pics..

Newbie here! I got mine in May 2010. I'm getting 16 city and 22 freeway. Sure beats the fuel milage of my old 92 GMC dually.

that one picture doesnt even do the engine compartment justice. you have to see it from a top view. if you drop a wrench it won't/can't fall through the engine compartment and onto the ground. its tight.
