Fun and informative Video.I am really happy with my 2024 F-250 XL SD Supercab with the FX4 Package.With a Truxedo Tonneau Cover, and running 91 No Ethanol,been getting around 13 MPG in town and 17 Highway. Factory Steps are a big plus also,you have to hoist yourself up a bit with this Rig. I don't need the extra capabilities of this Truck,but I thought it was a better value than a loaded up Half Ton. And personally I think it looks better!!! Subscribed.

Looks nice, I’m hoping to get an older power stroke f350 the new ones quality is worrisome. My 19 ranger 4x4 supercab is just too small I’ve had it 3 years I’m ready to upgrade to a diesel so I can tow 14k lbs.

Can tow that with the 6.8
@zerk5451Ай бұрын
Three weeks ago I got a very similar truck. Mine has the XL Off road package and step sides but aside from that It's the same as yours. I will break your heart now. You're not going to get 18 mpg. We just drove a few hundred miles on the interstate and looks to get 16-16.5 going 65-70 mph. I'm really loving the 6.8. My heaviest towing will be around 10,000lbs. I've towed about 5500 so far and it's cake. The steps sides are a must though. I have the Ford black platform steps and am happy with them. I'm big and the are very ridgid.

You could have different gearing that can affect gas mileage the higher number the more times your wheels spin per axle revolution.

I didn't like the stx package and really looked at the 7.3. I read the 10r100 had less power loss and after really considering my towing needs i landed on the 6.8. Now 200 miles in and I'm disappointed in my fuel economy. I upgraded from a 5.0 150 where I was getting 23mpg in the mountains. 15 mpg seems bad to me.

I do the same on trailer decks and fences. I use a weed sprayer and spray it though. I don't like the dust it collects at first.. but a wash or rain storm typically gets rid of it. That tailgate is not the problem for you bad mileage. Its mesh, the air flows through it. Towing a 2,000 lb trailer is the difference in your mileage.

Those boards will leach oil residue for years, especially on hot days. You'll be gettin it all over the bottom of your shoes every time you walked on it. Might even put you on yerass when it gets wet. If it were me, I'd use a high traffic deck sealer applied with a cheap little pump sprayer. However, at the end of the day, it's your trailer.

@seandewar477 ай бұрын
Banding is a form of neutering livestock. They wrap the green rubber band around the testes of that lamb, where the band wraps around so tightly it slowly cuts off the blood supply, causing the balls to shrivel up and fall off on their own.

They are boer goats but I believe they may have some kiko. The breeder we got them from is super hands on and gives them treats of animal crackers which they love. They follow me around whenever I am near the fence or in the pasture. Occasionally they jump up like dogs as you can see in the video. The breeder told me she had 24 nannies expecting back in January so more should be weaning soon. Some of the most beautiful colors I've seen in goats!
