Grady its just a matter of finding the right price/ financing. I had a 2010 5.4 . Was 13 months old. Went in for an oil change and tire rotation and found out Local Fords had a 4 day 0% financing ,so basically just resigned papers and traded keys. We are going through this again here with a few Chev dealers offering same deals as are the Fords again. Now making room for 2013,s .. Don,t think i'm allowed near the dealer anymore though... as per the Boss(Wife) but thats ok i really like this truck.
One word of advice to any and all . If any of you are in SNOW country and really NEED SNOW tires. Don,t suggest going to the 20" rims. Did some enquiring on cost of snow tires to fit...1800.00 for 4 tires ,mount,balance .
Another option i asked about is separate 17" rims with Snow tires ,Rims mount and balance minus tire sensors(80.00) each also 1800.00. Yikes... We have snow and usually make due fine with a few sandbags and 4x4 and drive carefully but if i want to drive alot in the snow this may be an option i need to look at.07 Outback DD

A litre is a litre but a Us gallon is smaller than a imperial gallon and yes km,s = X miles but thats where a conversion chart helps and i can't find mine.

Are we converting from uk or European standard?
If uk then you are getting 13.
If European then almost 15.

Unless I'm reading something wrong?
