I say if you can afford it, go for it.

4x4, Crew Cab, extended bed, tow package, cow killer grill guard, the works, etc..

High 20's with all the management crap ripped off.

What I'd really like, the military vehicles to go back into non-use. The price of diesel might drop...

No doubt. I don't get that in my Titan going downhill with my foot off the accellerator.

Your chain... someone's yanking it.

EPA estimate is listed at 22-23.

Google search turned up someone who had a '10 diesel crew cab that typically got 14 city 20 hwy

Hello... without the management crap. My 250 is currently getting 26. I'm happy over 20.

An F250 getting 26mpg? Please PM me your secret if you're not comfortable posting it here. I just can't even imagine that from a truck.

As long as 20 is the goal you'll be fine.

Expect high 20's and you'll be dissappointed.

And hello, if you are getting 26 out of your 250, why would you expect the same truck with a different badge & rear springs to get better?

If you are stepping up to a 2011, you may increase your mileage but why would you want to disassemble (read: void warranty) a brand new and unproven engine?
