I got an 07 F-150. Drove from here to S.C., 811 miles one way through the mnts in WVA, Va, and N carolina and averaged 18 mpg. Get about 20-22 on the hiway in flat country.

How do all of you afford 15 to 30,000 dollar trucks? I cant get myself to do it.
I see folks all over my town that dont look like they can afford 2000 dollar trucks driving new ones around.
I drive paid for high mileage vehicles and get around fine.

Man I can't get over 16 mpg no matter what I drive except with the Wife's Honda Element, Good thing about that thing is it can haul 6 hounds with no problem ...

Yota Land Crusiers are the Only thing I drive most of the time plus I need something that will pull the Hound Trailer on long trips .. Then I get about 10 mpg ..

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the new 3 valve motor Ford has in their tucks. I have no idea what size motor it is but it's in the F-150. I think they are only a year or so old. I know guys that have them that swear they are getting 23-25 around town. I don't really like Ford trucks but that is pretty impressive if it's true.
