Default New Battle Wagon!

Just snapped a few random pics of the new truck. It's Ford F-250 6.7 diesel "Badlander" 4x4. It's really a fun truck and is one of the nicest I've ever had. It's simply pimp and so far I'm very happy with it.

Sorry my pics suck. It's hot outside.....I'll take some better picks after it's clean and in better light.

Right now it's the same has my 2008 (6.4L)....13.3 mpg. Not good right? I don't know if it's because I live in The Woodlands where there are 10 million stop signs and stop lights?.....Plus the fact I like to drive really fast....I've put 300 miles on her. Will keep you posted on how the fuel eco goes.

Nice truck Troy. I would get too excited about the fuel mileage. My father law has a 2011, he drives very conservatively, he recently drove to Montana and back with an average of 15.1MPG. Thats good for a big truck but no where near what I thought it would have been.

Thanks guys.

- OK good to hear on the mpg. My Dad has the 2011 as well and he's getting 16.1, but he drives like 5 miles under the limit in the fast lane.

- I feel you on the grill. It's kinda odd the more I look at it.

That DPF filter kills gas mileage.

Love those new diesel trucks, but can't justify getting rid of my 22.5 mpg '06 dually for a new one. I hate DPF!
