My brother just bought this one, and drove it from CA to FL last week. Unreal truck. Enjoy

I would bet my bottom dollar that it doesn't get 18mpg like the seller says. Either way its a cool looking truck!

I thought the same thing minner. I got to thinking about it when Craig mentioned the biodiesel so I went back and looked. The truck is a diesel so it very well could get 18 or even better on the highway. No way in town but highway driving will get some good fuel economy even in the 2500.

Saw that too Cheez but with that lift you get extra wind resistance, but the killer would probably be the huge drag created by that camper shell. I not saying its not possible but I'd bet he rounded up on the estimated mpg's. LOL Mayber Spur can weigh in and I can eat my hat.
 
Either way, good mileage or not that is one awesome truck. I might even would trade the F-150 for one of them.emoBigsmile

Buy me one too Cheez, we'd be be big pimpin' in one of those. I might have to get get me a custom catfish paint job like this one. emoHijack

He says its getting just over 15 MPG running diesel.

All I can say is that is what I get out of my stock 1/2 ton Z71. Still not bad when you think about it except fuel costs about $0.50 more per gallon.
