[QUOTE=Scrappy Doo;2460193]Sounds good. I would think a toyota tacoma would get you close to your 20 mpg average. Doesn't seem like you have a trialer to tow, and they seat 4 comfortably.

A new 2010 or 2011 f150 would be the ticket too. get the twin turbo v-6 or the 5.0 v8 and you should be close to the 20mpg I would think. (I think you can get those 2 engines on any trim level. As you need the harley and platinum to get the new 6.2 v-8)

That being said, my new f150 has a fully locking rear diff for really plowing the mud. I used it 2 weeks ago in my hunting woods and it sailed right through the wet spots. (We had 10 inches of rain a few weeks before and that takes awhile to dry up. lol) My buddy in his f-350 got stuck in the same spot that i drove through. My guess would be due to the weight differnece. it was an easy pull out though.

Yeah, I think I'll see what the 11 F-150s are going for. i really like the ecoboost, not just for the mileage but the low end torque. That is one sharp FX4 BTW.
