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.

About 1000 miles in and averaging between 15.5-16.2 mpg in city on "Eco" mode, engine start/stop in play. Pretty much what my prior 3.5L,V-6 Ecoboost was doing. I'll take it.....Liking the 36 gallon tank a lot more too, less fill ups....

I did accidentally fill mine up with no ethanol gas while on the phone with work Saturday. That smarted, $116. I did gain 4 mpg on that tank and notable power. Even getting 23 mpg I lost $15 on that tank. Have to fill up again tomorrow.
