I don't have a camper but dream of one when I get older, and I have recently been dreaming of a nice dually. You are living my dreams my man! Enjoy that beauty and hopefully lots of camping and fun with the families for a long time to come.

Thank you,,,we actually bought this trailer so we can go with my daughter and her family. This includes 2 grandsons and one weenie dog!! Great to have a bath and a half and large beds. Wife and I worked a long time to get something like this. Leaving tomorrow for a 4 night trip.

Fueled up a few days ago and this is what fuel mileage I've been getting. Pretty close to what my '13 F-150 Ecoboost was getting. Most of the miles were in the 50 to 70 mph range...some idling during this time also. Pretty good for a large truck!

Thanks guys...I was also happy when it showed 10.5 when towing. The truck has a 48 gallon fuel tank and a 7.5 gallon DEF tank also...so that's a good bit of weight just in fuel. Probably around 350 lbs. This truck has definitely exceeded my expectations.

Thanks..congrats on the new truck...these 17's are amazing. Went to buy a leftover '16 but came out with a '17 and its been more then I expected. I've had mine 3 months so far but only 3K miles on it.
