That color with the back wheels and trim is sharp.

Saw one F250 Power Stroke done up that way. Made me contemplate buying it. The cost of a F250 and a F150 King Ranch, Platinum, Limited and maxed out Lariat are virtually the same.

If you dont mind me asking did your engine cost $3000 or $5000?

 

[Ford 3.0 Diesel]

My was $3000 less $500 for diesel discount with
total of $2500

Finally got mine on Wednesday. It has been a blast to drive and I am curious what I will end up with an average for fuel economy. getting 24 mpg in the first 250 miles, but I am also using the ECO guidance to see what I can get too. I think in a flat place (I live in the mountains and drive a river valley floor but have to climb hills) I don't think 29 mpg will be out of the question.

The only real drawback that I see to owning a 3.0 is cleaning out the filter in the exhaust.

If you get it out on the highway and start the process you dont burn extra fuel to clean the filter. I saw diesel fuel this past week for $2.85 in Missouri. I have not seen the cost of B 20 or ever heard how good or bad it is.

Not at all.

The engine is tight and breaking in. I read online that a posters Father got 33 mpg on a visit up from Florida.
