Yeah, I know. I drove the 2005 this weekend. Still love that truck, that body style is my favorite.
It is pretty neat to watch that screen as you go down the road and see what hills and stop lights do to you. From Ennis to Corsicana on 45, I had it set on 70 and it averaged 21.7 for that stretch. I have about 2100 miles on it now.

One strange thing I have noticed, punching it to get on the freeway or to pass does not seem to guzzle as much as sitting at a light, taking off easy getting up to 35 and stopping again. I think it's becuase you seldom get out of the lower gears plus idleing just kills you. I never realized how much. I can hit Athens averaging 21.4 for a hundred miles including going thru 6 small towns, and go thru 5 or 6 lights and the mileage will drop to 19.5 over the whole 110 miles. That is some serious drop.

That's a good suggestion and if I had an EB i know it would have one on it already....
Cattle theft is still a risky business in Texas.

I asked a couple times in that other thread with no response or if Ford didn't put it on the truck then I don't need it. I know you would and I would but we use common sense.
