That V10 Triton is a real gas hog. $9,000 will only buy you about 36,000 miles according to my calculations. That's based on 10 mpg average and at $2.50 per gal for gasoline.
Yes. But at the same time...new Powerstroke owners will be also paying $2.85/gallon for diesel and getting ever so slightly better fuel economy. Cause they sure don't get 20MPG anymore. Just a guess. Its worth considering now at least.

Everyone (including me) laughs at the F-Series cab removal procedure for engine access. But Ford is getting so good at allowing for this...that someday...they'll have a hydraulic full body tilt like a pro-puller truck. Then we'll see who has service access then!!!

They already have a prototype. YouTube - tilt cab
