Wife and I stopped last Sunday and looked at a few new ones on the local lot. Looked at a loaded out Platinum for 47k and I said let me get out of here. Then I saw a loaded King Ranch 250 diesel for 64k and told her I'm trying to retire not work more to pay one off. Nice truck's but way too high for me! ![Big Grin](https://www.f150online.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Just got back from Ashtabula. Decided to go to my dads campground and see how everything was, not sure when the last time it was that he was up there. It was actually warmer there than it is at my house. It's kind of depressing seeing all the docks pulled out of the river and sitting on the shore.
I did get some pics but I forgot to grab the camera so I had to use my cell phone.
This was the first long trip I've takin with the truck, 216 miles round trip, and it did really well. What reall surprised me was my gas mileage. I filled up before I left and then filled up at the same gas station on the way back at the same pump and squeezed 11 gallons in. When I did the math it was 19 mpg which really surprised me. The best I've seen out of it so far was 15.3 mixed city and highway. Today was ALL highway with prolly 5-10 mins of "city". I just set the cruise on 65 and went.
