I did some reading on the 2012 power wagon and they were Quote appalled by the single digit mileage when towing 10,000 lbs. and the best they got was 12 mpg highway. Chuck   [Reply]  [No Email]

And there's no ford gonna do what a powerwagon will do, it will go through the steep and deep.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Ford's not going to stop at every dealership for repiars? :o Can you please provide proof, from an independant site, not including Ram forum sites to prove that statement? Reviews like from car and driver don't count. All they do is drive a vehicle for a few days and write a review based on how much ad space the maker bought. Lets say by some place that did a real test over several months running, empty, loaded and trailering. Rick   [Reply]  [No Email]

Only truck that can rock climb, and do the dirty work, what's there to prove, let's see a ford f250 factory do this.   [Reply]  [No Email]

You're still not comparing apples to apples. The man wanted a truck that could acheive good mileage. Any turck with a 4.56 gear set isn't going to acheive that. The Eco-Boost can be had with 3.55 or 3.73 gears and can average over 20mpg. It's good that you're happy with your truck, and it seems to serve you well. Even with 4.56 gears, your truck isn't going to 'play' with 25,000lb gcw. It may handle it OK, but 'play ' is a bit much.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Just found out DTE means 'distance till empty' The newest vehicle I drive is a 2006 Corolla, a very basic car. Not use to all this computer stuff.   [Reply]  [No Email]
