New Used Truck

I picked up a used truck other day its a 1993 F150 no frills but its got a tow package & only 125k so should last me long time.
I am not to crazy about paying more for gas then I was use to in the CRV but a much better sleeping space . I am hoping to  put a real camper in it someday.
I did find a cool website for calculating your gas cost According to this it will only cost me $20 more in gas then the CRV for the Riffe Lake torny.

And some more good info if you need http://www.fueleconomy.gov/
Next I have to enlarge my parking space for a bigger boat.
I have looked at lot of boats still have not found what I am looking for but I will know it when I see it just like this truck.
Still going to keep my little boat Because Larry likes my bath tub so much  Tongue

I'll have to agree with Smitty on that one. I was going to suggest that as well as it is one nicely layed out boat.

Cool truck. Owning a Diesel is really cool now.

I had a new programmer installed in my truck before I went to Clear Lake and the improvements were immediate. I was getting around 11.5-12.5 mpg before and now I am getting 13.5-14.5 mpg. The modification only cost $400.00.

FYI for the Diesel owners.

Nice truck, if you have the 8 foot bed like my F150 then an inflatable mattress and cot fits real well down one side, and I had a row of Rubbermaid boxes down the other with all my camping, cooking gear etc.... my truck did me proud for almost 4 years.

When I ran the Nitro, I checked the actual fuel consumption from full tank to full tank and this is what I got from a 308 cu in V8:

Not towing: (going to Jamboree) with self plus two passengers and all out gear - average 17mpg

Towing: Self plus one and Nitro to Tri-Cities and back - average 14mpg
