          Got a 2019, love it. Have not pulled anything with it to speak of. Get around 17 to 20 MPG.

            Have a 17 first year for the l5p engine. One of my favorite trucks. Has 36k on it. 20k plus miles were used hauling our 35 foot bumper pull camper which is only 10k lbs around colorado, utah, new mexico, wyoming, texas, and many of those trips more than once no issues I use it as a daily some but its mainly for hunting and vacations. Its a crew cab long bed work truck package, so not many upgrades features but its what i wanted.

              BIL just lost his transmission in his 18 40k miles or so. Now we pull heavy stuff almost every day but wouldnt have figured it would go out that soon.
              119k on my F250 pulling the same stuff and knock on wood shes still going strong

                Had a 2004 totaled it bought a 2005 loved them both had loads of power and comfort
                In 2010 was talked into a 2008 super duty and it was one of the worst truck decisions I ever made absolutely a POS , went back to Chevy but a gasser , probably will never by another ford V-8 diesel . Chevy love it wish they put a Cummings In front for that Allison transmission

                  I had one for awhile and it pulled like a freight train. No complaints at all.

                    I just had the 5 yr anniversary of the purchase of my 2015. Only issue I had was a def tank heater went out. Replaced under warranty. Other than that, it’s been a tank mechanically. Just normal maintenance.

                    My only complaint that might lead me away from gm next time is no ac vents in the back seat for the kids. Aggravating that a truck that expensive would have it.

                        Mines a 2013. DEF heater went out at 40,000 miles. Replaced under warranty. Only repair done. Closing in on 100,000 now. It’s been a great truck.

                          Had 2, still have one in “service “. I’d rather have a golf cart. I’ve never been so disappointed in a brand of anything in my life ( and I ain’t kidding)

                          1 motor
                          3 transmissions
                          Honest to God can’t count injectors
                          Honest to God can’t count running lights
                          Electrical issues daily
                          Stir down to limp mode since about 60k.... no dealer can figure it out
                          Needs 6” lift so I don’t high center on box turtles

                          They finally broke me from any GM product

                          Experience was with 01’ and 08’

                            My in-laws have an 07 2wd dually. It gets 14 mpg on the highway, unloaded, if they are lucky. Stock, pulls a cattle trailer. It’s a nice ride but $$$$ to keep it going. I drive a 16 Cummins 4x4 and see 18+ on the highway.
