I’d be very impressed with 15.3 real world mpg (not computer bs) at 80 ish miles an hour over a tank. Wind is huge, best whole tank mileage in my ecodiesel was 32.5 with the cruise on 75 mph with a tail wind pushing 25-30. It won’t touch 28 at 75 without the tail wind.

Picked up a 2023 STX FX4 6.8l w/ 10 speed tranny and so far, I'm impressed. Better economy than the 6.2l off the lot. I tow the travel trailer tomorrow but seems to have gobs of low rpm power. Think I'm going to like it. Does it have start stop [censored] or any kind of active fuel management? If don’t mind how much? Was thinking about a new one. Don’t need a super duty but ain’t buying anything with bs mentioned above J D

No active fuel management. Sucks fuel like crazy at idle but been getting over 14mpg with mixed driving (1-2mpg better than the 6.2l)
It was a $60k sticker with a $5k discount at Maxwell in Austin. Has a large display, 360 view cameras, led lights, spray in liner, additional bed lights. Nice truck. And I love the side steps on the bed of the 23's.
