I love my work truck, a 2008 ford f250, diesel, xlt. I have been driving for 15k miles sine August 2017.
It hauled a pallet of 80 lbs ready mix concrete, that's 3360 lbs, the past weekend. It drove down a hill of 20 degree, no road, just barely enough space in bwt trees, and it drove down even more steep hill after I emptied the load and going up hill to come back to road. Of course, I turned on 4x4 low.
It got 14.2 mpg with combined freeway and local. When I did the freeway only drive, it was 17.4 mpg.
I slept inside.
It hauled stuff, a 2500 gallon water tank; it hauled yard waste. Mighty and versatile, so in love with the truck.
