Firs of all If you are happy with your whatever, I am glad , I am not selling trucks, just a post for those that are wondering. Not a F 250 but for years I have driven a f 150 4X4 trading about ever two years at 60 thousand miles. When the v 6 with the turbos came out I was really reserved and did not trade righ away. finally Traded first of March. Now has around 7500 miles and really tired it out Yesterday and today. Photo shows I pulled a 18 ft car carrier from Dover Tn to Douglas Ga. empty. Running thru terrain that is about like eastern US including some mountains. down was 533 miles , no load on trailer. Made it in just over 8 hours average fuel 16.8 miles per gal. Trip back with the socut loaded ran 15.3 mpg. Considering that I ran 65/70 + and kept my foot in it I am more than satisfied just tickled pink with the gas millage an performance. And Allan I checked the tns temp on the hard pull (Monteagel Mt) never went over 200 deg. ran up about 196 deg. Does have trailer tow with tns oil cooler. I am not saying this is the truck for the goosneck and stock trailer but for light loads not bad..O the Scout 1977 4 cyl streigt shift..ready to restore..
