Find a dealer of each and take one home for the weekend and then choose. Bolton will do it so use that on Navarre or all-star , mark. 2011 fords have the most free-board of any trucks out there.

MTz's cool air intake, superchips flashpaque tuner, 373. rear end. 19-21mpg highway 55mph to 65mph. 16-18mpg 70mph-85mph. 13-15mpg city, and 14mpg with any 22-24ft. bayboat in tow. All real world calculations, not the lying computer in the roof, that would be more like 23-28mpg. yeah rite!

Don't know how you guys get such high mileage. Had an 02 dodge 1500 5.9 litre averaged 12 over the time I had it. Now I have a 2010 chevy crew 4wd. In about a year and a half, my computer reads 13.8.
