I Like it! Congratulations you did good. I do not like Grapevine Ford, though. What ford dealer do you suggest?

Broke in the new truck this morning, running out to Young and Throckmorton counties, running in "Economic" mode there and back, got around 19mpg on highway only, factoring stopping, idling and going again on ranch and lease, total avg. was around 16.8mpg for the 295 mile roundtrip. Car ran flawlessly like a big cruiser; added bonus, got to put down two Allsup bean and beef burritos with taco sauce and washed down with a Big Red Tallsup fountain drink Ahhh, so good... I run in Econ mode almost exclusively. Even with 35’s, I can squeak out 20mpg on short runs around town and 17-18 Hwy, depending on wind direction.

Since we both hunt in Young county, you might want to get my number so my Ram can come pull your Ford out every time it gets stuck.
Just kidding. Congratulations. Nice truck.

I Like it! Congratulations you did good. I do not like Grapevine Ford, though. What ford dealer do you suggest? X3 on Grapevine. I ended up buying last three from bluebonnet ford in new braunfels over the phone But been a while since I bought one, could be whole new crew at either store
