Originally posted by SVTFern: Unfortunately Ford is not a leader in the fuel economy race with either their pick ups or their SUVs. Dodge is even worse. I am looking at GMC again.. potentially an Envoy. I only wish that the Big 3 made some lighter duty diesel trucks liek they used to in the past. 6000lb pick ups that easily get 22 or 23 Mpg are just amazing. Imagine what a smaller diesel engine in a lighter pick up or SUV could do? Unfotunately none are coming to market in the near future.

Fern the new F-150's are great on gas. When I worked for Ford doing the ride and drive tour last fall and we got like 800km to a full tank of gas. I remeber filling up the hemi after 400km and the F-150 still had about half a tank left. I do know that my friend at Whiteoak Frod can give you a good deal one too PM me if you want more details or if you are comming to the meet tomorrow I'l give you one of his business cards. Oh the new F-150 is a half ton that can tow a tone and a half (3000lbs in the bed or can tow 6000lbs thanks to the suspension which is borrowed from the super duty).
