Default Bye bye ecoboost

Decided to trade in my ecoboost for a super duty. I really liked that truck, but was able too get a good deal on a loaded f250 lariat Will miss the 20 mpg though

Gonna leave it mostly stock. Adding a few small items, mud flaps, bug shield, vent visors, tonneau cover, etc. Might open up the exhaust, but no lift or anything.

I know that mpg is irrelevant with a big truck but what's the mpg like on a 250?

Getting around 15-16 so far. Only have a few hundred miles on it.

Great truck, a tune would really wake that monster motor up! ( I'm just jealous )

Great platform that new 6.7 is! Keep eyeballing one at the local shop. Love the ones we have at work.

Besides the poor mpg, the 250s simply don't look as good as a 150...Also not a great daily! As long as it works for you. Enjoy!!!
