Mine has a 05' also and I can agree with you 100%. We get 11 or so in the winter and not better than 14 in the summer, what you get? Seems to tow the boat fine at less than 9mpg as long as the ground is flat. This post reminds me I need to call the shop and see if it is about done...or wait did I pick it up last week, in and out so much I forget where it is at the moment.
Maybe 14, at best. Front end fell apart, leaks, electronic gremlins, rust, just alot of problems. Never again! You may pull a boat, that vehicle was purchased to haul some hay, feed, and every now and then a 2 spot Kingston horse trailer. Crumm, what really bothers me is that when the wife and I looked at this thing, I strongly advised she look at something bigger. The salesman went out of his way to go on and on about how well this "truck" would haul that trailer around. Now, I have no idea if you are familiar with horse trailers, but Kingston is an old New England company known for over-building and thats why I bought one. Its heavy. Throw in 2 Hay Burners, 20 gallons of water, and 200 pounds of general tack including saddles, and a 150 series really ain't cutting it. That damn truck was expensive, to boot. We could have had an F250, about the same equipment, and a DIESEL for about another $6,000. Every day I walk by that thing and just can't believe its in my driveway. Its a shame. Now she wants an F250 and that truck isn't worth squat on a trade.

I work with waste
Half tons=nothing. The only thing the 150 has going for it is the look. They do look good especially compared to the new GM and Chebby.
