It does break down to both readily achievable goals and a wish list.

F350 Goals
1. Improved front bumper/air dam
2. Side skirts
3. Mooneyes
4. Fender skirts
5. Improved “canopy” and tail gate “cone”
6. Gap seals
7. Overdrive unit (target: 1350 RPM @ 70 MPH)

I think these will get me to 30 MPG.


F350 Wish List
1. Rear view cameras to replace side mirrors
2. Cab-operable radiator block dampers
3. Sloped hood
4. A MPG smackdown road trip against the “Diesel Power” Dodge Cummins fakes.

Vindication is priceless.


F350 Really Out there
1. A Miller-cycle cam and control for the engine.

If I could do all this, I think I could realize 34 MPG and that would be about all I think I can get from a pickup that I intend to use as a pickup.
