 I bought the truck in January and the winter traction is amazing.The driveway to my log cabin turns to a sheet of ice this time of year and this truck can handle it with almost no wheel spin.On the road, the 5.0L V8 is downright snappy compared to the 5.4L Triton V8 I had before.I'm averaging 22mpg running back and forth to town which beats the window sticker mileage estimate.
