Okie,
I have an '09 F450--it gets 12.0-13.2 solo; it also gets about 7.0-8-5 while towing at 27000+ GCVW and never struggles except for gear selection on long, steep grades.
I also just came to Houston from Fort Worth yesterday bumped up against the 82mph limiter--got about 12.0 staying with the autobahn traffic.
I am happy with the truck--do I wish for better mileage, yes. Do I wish for a 2011 with the 'better mileage'? Sure do. Do I wish to win the lottery--yes...None of which are gonna happen.
By the way----a new engine? What happened?
Joe
