    Lol but it got the same mpg empty that you get now towing... I'm sure you could find it on mautofield, that thing has been swapped more than a sorority sister.

    I use to drive a SD 4x4 scab with a 5.4 in it as a work truck. Trust me, it had plenty of power. I hauled pallets of tile and tile setting materials like they weren't in the truck.

    I liked Zuks/Rickys f250 better than BB. Don't get me wrong BB was sweet, I just really loved that color and the chrome wheels. It stood out more cuz you don't see alot of trucks like that one. I've seen many lifted black ones.

    We had a V10 at another branch that I had to use for a week and it was okay, I'm just glad I had a fuel card I could use from the company. :jester:

    The 5.4 can't compare to the diesels, but the gearing the SD's have make a 5.4 feel a hell of a lot stronger then you would think. We beat the hell out of this truck and it never missed a beat. A tornado finally was the death of it sitting at one of the company's locations that was hit one night. Flipped it over and totaled it out. :jester: It took mother nature to kill that beast. :birgits_tiredcoffee

    ^ lol I'm just biased because my 5.4 has 4.10s and weighs 1500lbs less than a 250 with the same motor and gears :jester:

    Here's a diesel I'd get
