Pretty good. What does it have for emissions on it? What is the % gauge on the left? Does it use def?

A few months back, there was a thread with a vid that talked about the truck for about 25 mins. I thought it was very interesting and I am interested. Keep posting here please, I really like the thought of this truck, and seeing how it will progress.

How do they feel for power? At 240hp I would think they feel slightly underpowered but with the torque maybe not. Obviously they are built for economy but curious about the "fun factor" none the less.
BTW the best I've seen in my 2014 F350 diesel was 14L/100km at 100km/h, a number a have not been able to duplicate since, I now average 17L/100km back and forth to work, so 10L/100km at 120km/h is pretty damn impressive.

I feel the power is pretty good. Getting out and passing is no problem , gets to 140 pretty quick. Pulled my boat home last Friday and pulls it very good. It's defiantly not as much power as my 11 f350 but that's apples to oranges.

Buddy has one too. Said overall truck was impressive. Gettn 33ish mpg a month old. Only flaw is rear coils. Cant haul crap, need air bags. But rides smooth and cant even hear it running

My old Chevy 6.2 diesel would get 10L/100 km but was a 2wd and couldn't pull a lawn mower. 25 years later we can finally buy a truck that gets good mileage and a little power.

Have you got enough miles yet to get a feel for combined mileage? My ecoboost was great on the highway 12-13/100 but combined was 15.
if your combined is 10-11/100 on a 50,000 km year it would use 5000-5500 litres per year vs 7000-7500 litres a year. 5000 of diesel at 1.30 $6500 vs 7000 of gas 1.19 $8330/year. 2.5 or so years paid for diesel option and then hopefully worth more a couple grand more resale. Sort of pencils out?
