I picked up an 06 F250 with the 3v V10 and I love it. It gets virtually the same mpg as the 5.4 but with lots more HP. The newer superduties also have the trailer brake controller built in and IMHO Ford's trailer brake system works much better than any aftermarket brake you end up installing. I also recommend a topper for fire wood, camping gear and the family dog. In this picture, I've got almost half a cord of wood, the dog, two big coolers, pontoon boat, and one mountain bike all in the box of the truck. Let's see someone try and do that with an Avalanche
