What did your avg mpg display read ? I have a 2 wd screw 3.55's mixed city/hi 150 miles on the truck mines reading avg 21 no long hand calculation yet
Power cure is incredibly,deceivingly fast, just love how smooth the truck runs.

I know I test drove an FX4 and 2wd XLT when they were here in OKC and there was quite a big difference on the dash MPG between the two. I do not know if 2wd versus 4wd is going to make that much of a difference as I've never had a 4wd vehicle but the difference i seen made me think about getting a 2wd instead of 4wd.

Got a notification from the dealership today....my truck is sitting in the "yard" waiting to be assigned a train car for it's ride to Montana. Delivery is scheduled for the week of March 7th.
I ordered my seat covers from Headwaters today, and my WeatherTech Digitalfit floor mats. The topper will be ordered on Monday, and I scheduled it in to have the lower 1/3 and bed coated with "Bullhide" on March 21st. By the time all that gets done, I'll have to save my pennies for a while before getting a Bedrug.

Nice info guys!! I am still waiting for the build date/vin number and everything I "ordered" it on Jan 28th and still no word on anything really, last I talked to the dealer he goes "we got the daily printout and your truck was on there for the build date" so dunno what that means exactly but can't wait to get it. My truck I have now the tabs go out on Monday so wont have a truck to drive til this one comes in.
