Just traded up to F-150...
Hi Everyone,
Well, I couldn't resist the temptation any longer... I traded in my Pathfinder for an F-150 XLT with 4x4, eco-boost, 36 gallon tank and 3.55:1 locker rear. I love it!!
We tow a 18' ultralight camper that's ~3500lbs dry, but with 50 gallons each of grey, black and fresh water the weight climbs closer to 5000lbs (worst case) + other gear. The Pathfinder did ok, but was only getting ~9.5mpg while towing, with only an 18 gallon tank made for some nail-biting moments trying to find a gas station
.
The Ford Store in Morgan Hill was the final thing that made my mind up. They offered a great deal and great service. This new truck should be much more up to the task...
Cheers,
Stephen
