Looks nice, I’m hoping to get an older power stroke f350 the new ones quality is worrisome. My 19 ranger 4x4 supercab is just too small I’ve had it 3 years I’m ready to upgrade to a diesel so I can tow 14k lbs.
Three weeks ago I got a very similar truck. Mine has the XL Off road package and step sides but aside from that It's the same as yours. I will break your heart now. You're not going to get 18 mpg. We just drove a few hundred miles on the interstate and looks to get 16-16.5 going 65-70 mph. I'm really loving the 6.8. My heaviest towing will be around 10,000lbs. I've towed about 5500 so far and it's cake. The steps sides are a must though. I have the Ford black platform steps and am happy with them. I'm big and the are very ridgid.
I didn't like the stx package and really looked at the 7.3. I read the 10r100 had less power loss and after really considering my towing needs i landed on the 6.8. Now 200 miles in and I'm disappointed in my fuel economy. I upgraded from a 5.0 150 where I was getting 23mpg in the mountains. 15 mpg seems bad to me.

You could have different gearing that can affect gas mileage the higher number the more times your wheels spin per axle revolution.

Awesome intro! MGF
Not perfect but for my editing skills I like it.
Nice truck. Supercabs and regular cabs look so much better than garbage crew cabs though
For a personal vehicle I completely agree
Our children are just too big to sit comfortably without the bigger cab. We have an 18, 17, and 4 year old. The older boys need the space. 😅
I have always had extended cabs but with children we find the crew cab is a must.
Also with the 7.3 you have to upgrade to STX appearance package I believe. No thanks. You made a great choice
So far, it’s been perfect for us! 😊
