    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    I did. I'll miss the 40+ highways and 35ish in city. I'm averaging around 18 in city on the truck and with a total daily drive of about 25 miles, it's not too bad.

    I can go almost two weeks before I need to fill up. A 36 gallon tank has its perks haha. I have a highway range of about 700 miles too. Here's a picture of it. Notice a trend in my truck colors?

    Seriously debating getting one of these with the ecodiesel or upgrading to its big brother and get a 2500 with a cummins.

    Yeah I know. I think it will probably stay that way too. I don't want to do anything to mess with the gas mileage or towing. I'm modding little things here and there.

    I am working on a tailgate auto release using the keyfob if anyone is interested in the details. it will work for any vehicle and only about 75 bucks in parts.

    I was spoiled by my tacoma where a 3-4" inch lift feels huge. You don't even notice that on these trucks until you stick 35's underneath them. I feel like I'm going against everything I am by not putting something on this truck! I also decided on the f150 after we got the wife an explorer. I was sold on it!

    i like the latter option. The eco diesel is nice but I feel like it's a compromise. Plus, cummins is proven. You could have a real nice 2500 for the price of an ecodiesel.

    I decided that AFTER I looked at the price tag. Might as well spend the extra 8,000 on the 2500 and get a bigger truck with better towing and payload.
