    Post a pic of that bad boy!  Why did you not opt for the diesel?  You probably would have doubled your fuel economy.  I like the 450/550 trucks.  I really like the 650 too.

    Ha! 

    My new Ram 2500 with a 6.4 Hemi isn't exactly fuel efficient either. ;)

    If this makes you feel any better this can tow 65,000 lbs and get 10mpg! =) You better keep that Dodge around for mpg

     You need to check your specs. That's way more truck than you need to haul an egg.

    90 percent or so of the hauling is between 0.25 miles to 10 miles which i wouldnt want a deisel for. thinking it should get 10 to 12 mpg on the longer trips ;)  it barely gets warmed up going between buildings but i needed the weight capacity, you know, an egg and lots of lump =)

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    @Ozzie_Isaac no its a prerunner. Bought it with the baja style lift and suspension with intention to convert to 4 wheel drive. It's got me everywhere I've wanted to go so far. Probably never do the conversation now. @fishlessman is the truck new. If so it'll probably get better after breaking in some. That and it's probably got a really low set of gears. This is my first ford. I'm a big fan of the v10 now.

    I would hate to replace those windows, but that is an epic motorhome.

    I remember first time I drove that was through Atlanta on some narrow ass lanes at night in the rain.  18 wheelers would speed by and try to suck you out of your lane.  (we were going to butt blast).

    That said, I love that baby!

    The Spinal Tap version of that engine comes out next year.  Has one more cylinder to make it a V11.
