Here's one I was looking at, FX2 Candy Red.

I like the dull rim around the tails on the FX2 versus the shiny rim on the FX4.

Yes to some degree it does. I don't want to get less than 18 on the highway. I usually get 18 to 20 now with the Silverado. I just don't want to go backwards.

Then forget the 2010 F-150.

Physics suggests that a tepid 5.4-liter V8 that makes 310 hp (in the heaviest truck, no less) should not be able to out-tow others that boast 380 hp and up. Physics is right. Furthermore, the 3.73:1 axle ratio that's needed to generate the advertised tow rating drastically affects everyday fuel economy. Our unburdened F-150 achieved 12.6 mpg, well below the window sticker ratings of 14 mpg city and 18 mpg highway (which were achieved with the standard 3.55:1 ratio).


i get 18-20 hwy all day with 23 inch wheels,33 inch tires 373 gears.. and a heavy foot.

I would wait for the new 6.2's to come out. The modular lineup is on their way out and the 2 new V8's are amazing to say the least.

You also don't have a 2010.

And there would have to be something wrong with my truck to *only* get 18 on the highway.

Driving very conservatively, 250 miles up north, I got 24.1. That was at 65MPH.
