clicked over 120 miles today on the odo......still figuring out all the gizmos and setting the radio and OMG the stuff on the display to keep track of is mind boggling
but not boost????
get up and go is easily a bit quicker than the pickup, i think that 3.73 rear gear has much to do with that.
trying not to drive much till the weathertech stuff arrive tomorrow


roy your truck is still an eye catcher.
unlike the driver :bama

To add to my earlier post about our 2004 Expedition, we had the dark red (now called Ruby Red), it was the XLT Sport and had the gray trim along the bottom. It was an 8 passenger and when I rode in the third row, I felt like I was in the back of a bus. As I stated earlier, we traded it way too soon. Would love to have another one some day. Hope you get lots of years and miles with it. Also hope it gets good gas mileage.

Hope you didn't split the cow pies that were in the road at the farm the other day Robert. Hate to see that beautiful vehicle get dirty. :);tu

nope just dust.
the thing that bugs the crud out of me is the back window
one drive and its covered in dust.
the vacuum effect is horrible. been looking for a deflector or something to direct air down across to break up the suction
the 150 was just as bad, the tailgate would be covered in fine dust in one drive. the little areo thing on the tailgate did nothing for cleanliness

third tank of gas.....avg 17.6 this is mostly city and about 100 mile combined of over 65mph for 7-8 minutes

after 3200 miles...she is steady at 17.7-18.0 at highway speeds of 75 or above

tq is KILLER, 3.73 help alot, but the eco boost in the 2013 f150, was very different in power than the 2016 version.
a/c is still a learning curve, it seems what temp you set the /c is what temp the air is from the vents, i like hanging chickens cold in the summer,

went to pick up some composite ties last week in ok, about 400 miles round trip,

roy,
yep a pickup would have been great. f350 long bed could have handled my load easy peazy
my friend in front had double row 36 on his little trailer, the 3500 lb axles were wiggling and groaning as i followed him. I had barely 3k pounds on the trailer, could have carried 6k more easily
my other friend with the train machine said they weighed 220 lbs each....i think they were closer to 300
16 cyl engine driving the rail machine, it purrred like a BIG fat cat ...man toys
this machine is HUGE, the front of the picture is the rear...that little cab off in the distance is the end of the machine
