Yeah they go like hell but if you keep your foot out of it they do pretty good on fuel too!
In normal driving they seem to be good for low 20's.

Very impressive! Yes they drove at 40-45mph but for a giant box on wheels that is pretty good!!

I'm not sure how the triclking of fuel into the tank contributed to the picture. Obviously it did nothing to actually improve fuel usage. Perhaps it contributed to accurately measuring usage.

Rubber balls on the hitch adds 2mpg and fake bullet hole stickers are good for 10hp. the mirror image "keep right" sticker on the windshield is another 20ft lbs of torque and an equal amount of a-holness.

I wonder why they just didn't use a truck with a 36 gallon tank to begin with?
I hear these trucks tow pretty well to, supposedly they yank a 10k pound trailer around with ease. How do you think one would do with the 3.15 gearing towing that?

Yes but its a 3/4 ton and $50k, I can get an EB F150 XLT with the options I want for $27k.
Not a bad deal!
