[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16282312, member: 166576"] I understand your point, but unloaded MPG is an important metric to me. Im not sitting here thinking that I will ever get 30 mpg out of a Super Duty. Im not naive. But Im totally over the 3 vehicles for 1 person thing. Owned my Shelby, my Excursion and a Corolla at one point. Im over keeping track of 3 cars that all have needs, lol. I want my Shelby and a daily, and the daily needs to be a capable vehicle and get respectable fuel mileage. If I can average 15-16mpg unloaded, Im good with that if its capable of hauling a 21,000 pound 5th wheel when it needs to. I need to get better than 8.4 miles per gallon unloaded, and thats my calculated by hand average since my Corolla got totaled 3 weeks ago. I havent had to tow with the V10 yet. But my guess is that Ill get 4mpg downhill with a jet turbine for an assist on a good day. Being in the auto industry myself, Im fortunate to get parts and service at cost +10% with an absurdly low labor rate if Im feeling lazy. Or the job is over my head. Not too worried about cost of owning a diesel. We are close to the launch of the 7.3L Godzilla/10A in the wild. If its capable of hauling a load like a 5th wheel and unloaded getting 14-15mpg average, Ill absolutely consider it over a diesel. But that 6.7 is starting to look very appealing if my Shelbys paid off. That 6.0L is STILL very tempting.... [/QUOTE]
