Not sure. I filled it up tonight for the 1st time, but they are rumored to get around 14 - 18, YMMV. My old 7.3 got 8 - 12 and it never did a burnout in it's life. :frown:
What a pain in the wallet! I think my truck gets around 20, I haven't had to fill up in months and I usually drive it about 4 times a week to get around

Meet my new "Baby". '06 F350 XLT 4x4, 6.0 Powerstroke that's been "chipped" & "bulletproofed". Immaculate interior and a few minor dings outside. B&W "Flip hitch" and check out that beefy bumper!
It does need tires, especially on the front. Other than that I'm ready to hotshot! :aok

Define "bulletproof"

I'll bet I could break it  :devil

How come such small tires?    Where's the beef?  :neener:

"owns" as in "that shot of the rear end of that X5 is what Jeep owners will see when the light turns green."  :D

"Bulletproof" is a term used by Powerstroke owners referring to upgraded oil cooler, EGR and a few other parts.

Now I've seen it all...  An SUV owner bragging about drag racing jeeps.   :x

If you want to go fast why not just buy a fast car?  Every car I've ever owned would leave that X5 in the dust, including the 1980 baby blue ford fairmont station wagon I learned how to drive in and sold for $500 after 230,000 miles.  And my brother's ancient bronco would leave that X5 "in the dust" on any trail worth driving.  So would his friend's super reliable early-year toyota truck, simply because it weighed almost nothing and has locking diffs.

Bragging on an X5 outrunning a big truck...  That's funny and kind of weird/sad.  Why buy such a huge car if you care about beating people at stoplights?  If driving faster than a jeep is important, you could have saved yourself a lot of money by buying a chevy sedan or maybe even a subaru of some sort, if you really wanted AWD.

Not that the X5 isn't a nice, if huge, car, but opening your part of the discussion by bragging how it is faster on pavement than a jeep is pretty dang funny.

How much you owe on that super fast X5?  Or is it a lease?

Let's hook a 14,000lb trailer to each of us and see who wins. :devil

Lighten up, Francis, I was joking!  :rofl :rofl If I was really interested in drag racing, I would kept my '99 Vette I sold last year, it made over 550 at the rear wheels.

You'd be a little surprised by the 4.6is.... it's not a regular X5, the 'is' designation is basically the "M" package for X5's..... 350 hp AWD.... 1/4 mile times are roughly equal to what my old 1990 Corvette was capable of from the factory. Not blinding fast by today's sports car standards, but no slouch either for a family hauler and boat puller.

Never said anything about a truck.  :bhead :rolleyes:

Pay attention. I was joking, taking a poke at someone else who made a comment about a supposedly fast Jeep.  :rofl

Besides.... drag racing? pfffffft. That's for people who don't know how to drive but can throw a lot of $$$$ at their car to make it faster instead of themselves.  :old:

And no, it's not a lease. Both it and my 325i sedan are paid for.  :neener:
