My nephews company got their first 6.4, an F550 stake truck. Their fleet manager related to me a few of his initial thoughts on the truck.
1) It's gonna take a while to get used to the new looks, maybe it will grow on him.
2) While driving it down the road, other than some turbo whistle, you can't tell it's a diesel.
3) On the 40 mile round trip he took it on, it got a whopping 8.7 MPG!! He's gonna check on what gearing the truck has and it's empty weight as that might be a contributing factor besides, the mileage on the truck was only in the double digits...far from broken in.
