I'm sure that there are some disappointed 6 leakers out there like a few from Montana that would take that Dodge from you at a good price. Then you could step up to a V-10 and not look back. I didn't.

Just picked up my 2010 F-250 King Ranch V-10 and all I gotta say is this thing rocks !!

I got ever option available other than the upfitter switches ( which I'll install at a later time ) It even has traction control, not sure why but there is a button on the dash to turn it on and off.

The power is very respectable compared to my 2007 6.0, it's no Turbo but it gets up and goes when needed. I only have 250 miles on it so I'm trying to break it in slowly since this is a keeper.

I was averageing 15-21 on my 6.0 diesel, any thoughts on the 3V 10, my milage peeked on the 6.0 at 35K so I was wondering if that will be the same with this truck, more mileage= better MPG.

I am assuming you have the 4.10 rear, so you should average about 11mpg for a while. At 5,000 miles, I added the Airaid intake system and the DiabloSport Predator programmer and put it in the middle setting. I now have 49k on the truck and it still gets around 12 in town. If I don't go over 70 on the interstate I can get almost 14 solo. I've never gotten below 9 when towing. The more you drive your new V-10, the more you will love it.
