Bought it with 40k miles on it, and now we are just touching 75k on it. Not a single issue. Religious about 5k oil changes with 5-40 synthetic and fuel filters every 10k. This is the first diesel I've owned, and for towing I don't think I could ever go back to a gas. I still love my old V10, but its just not even in the same ballpark. We've towed some heavy loads with the diesel and so far and are quite impressed. We have 3.55 gears and unloaded the pickup is getting around 20 mpgs in that 70 mph area. 18.5 average on the interstate doing 75-78. Like any pickup, wind is a factor, and once you put any sort of trailer behind it mileage drops quickly. Doesn't really matter if we are towing 5k or 15k, pickup is getting 12-13 towing at 75. Went down to Wyoming with it to pick up a supercub project for dad with a big enclosed 28 foot trailer. Averaged over 80 mph the entire trip and had some insane winds. Pickup grabbed right around 9 mpgs round trip. That being said, the nearly extra 10 mpgs highway this new little diesel F150 is looking to put out compared to the ecoboost or 5.0  is something I would be very, very interested in. If it's a legit 28-30 highway type of rig, I will more than likely be giving it a shot, just for the fact that I like driving a pickup much more than a car.</p></blockquote><p></p>
