[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1642904, member: 19707"] We have an ‘18 that has a little over 20k miles on it. Combined average mileage is right at 21. It’s my wife’s daily driver, and she drives it hard. I’ve pulled several different trailers with it, the heaviest being a 6’8” x 20’ Circle D stock trailer (5k empty) with 4K of cattle in it. It’s not a diesel, but it’s amazing for a half ton gasser - out pull’s a lot of 3/4 ton gassers I’ve driven. I don’t think you could do 9-10k everyday and expect it to hold up (because it is a half ton) but if you need to do it occasionally and you’re careful about it, I think it’ll do fine. I’ve honestly been considering buying my wife an suv and using it to replace my aging 3/4 ton daily driver - but I do still have other 3/4 tons, too. Nothing against the 5.0 - we considered it, but I’ve had the itch to try the ecoboost. So far I’m not disappointed. At the time we bought ours, there were some really good discounts on certain packages and combinations, and it worked out to be pretty comparable to the V8’s (and much cheaper than any new diesel). The auto start/stop feature is standard on all half ton Fords, but there is a button on the dash to disable that feature. I turn it off every time I get in it. I know you can have it completely removed from the computer program, but I’m afraid it could affect warranty issues down the road. [/QUOTE]
