First time truck owner
Our last Family vehicle was a 2005 Honda CRV and just traded in on a 2012 XTR S-Crew which I picked up this afternoon.
Previously I have owned commuter cars(appliances) for our primary vehicles, with the odd toy in the garage. With family now, dogs and a cottage it was time for more room.
Fuel mileage so far isnt much worse than our CRV. averaged 13.9l/100kms in 100kms of driving today and Id say 70 of that has been with a half heavy foot.
Some quick pictures

amazed with this truck and its fuel mileage. We did almost 1000km road trip this weekend that included some off road ( beach/sand) and my average mileage is 11.5L/100kms. Thinking that with a few thousand kms this should further improve.
Oh for the above question on the cobra... Its an 03 with 8lb lower pully, western motorsports intake, magnaflow catback, 80 shot dry kit and custom tune from SAS
