Ford needs to advertise this truck more. It's f'in' amazing.
double-

Got diesel?

I'm thinking seriously about the new one. My 250SD has been flawless for 117k miles - FLAWLESS. I love it, but these new ones are begging me to... just begging me.
I'm trying NOT to get into another one so my wonderlust will subside!

I don't know if I heard it wrong the first couple times now or they changed it.
At least the first way was accurate, the second claim is ridiculous.

Well, I watched the Fusion AWD info-mercials yesterday morning where they put 2 Fusions through a road course at speeds of 100+mph...I gotta admit, it seemed impressive.
It was Speed channel Test Drive.
They also said it was quieter than a Lexus, but I can't remember which model?

Yep, I towed/hauled many loads with my '76 C20 Chevy Silverado. But with it's 4.10 gears, and 350THM, 350/4bbl, milage "empty" was about 10mpg..
And gas was under a dollar.
