wish i could tell you anything good about the gas but i cant. but all the gators are nice inside and out. As long as you dont drive it in town alot you will be good. my gator had been sitting in the garage for so long that the tires started going flat all 4 of them.lol thats the only reason why i took it out to drive it. good luck

I had an 04 but sold it. City gas mileage sucked, highway not too bad but they do require 91 octane which would really suck right now. The extra space was always a plus except when I had to park in tiny spaces, but I'm sure you are used to that with your F-250. The ammenities on a fully loaded model are on par with BMW. If you can handle the gas I would recommend it. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

what kind of gas mileage do you guys get, i bet its better than my 10 or 11 miles to the gallon and also premium would be a bargain compared to my deisel prices at 5.00 to 5.30 a gal. thanks for the info, a little more insight to the mileage per gallon may be my deciding factor, also what price rage should i see i'm finding 04-05 navis fully loaded with 33xxx to 72xxx from 14k to 17k and 06-07navis similar miles from 18k to 21k, does this sound right?

My good friend had one and it was a REALLY nice ride as other's have confirmed. Gas on the other hand was ridiculous ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) He got 11-12 MPG no matter if He was in town, on the highway, or towing.

Those prices sound good considering I paid $65000 for mine in 2004. If I recall sticker estimated gas at 12 mpg city 15 mpg highway but we all know that those estimates are bogus. I think on highway driving to LA I got 350-375 mpg on a full tank which would be approx 17-18 mpg. I think city on a full tank would get approx 225-250 mpg which would drop it down to about 11-12 mpg. I think considering what you pay for disel and the mpg of your f-250 you will save lots of dough! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

thanks for all the info guys and yeah i guess with what i pay now anything else is a deal, the only other thing i would like to know is how happy you guys are with the performance and comforts of your trucks, they seem nice in pictures but never really toyed around with one, i oly drive a mile and a half to work so gas isn't gonna be that bad, i'm almost convinced that this is the vehicle for me

I was happy with the 305hp in my Navi it accelerated nicely for its' size drove smooth even with the 22's I had on it. It had a comfortable ride and felt solid and safe on the road. I just threw a K&N filter in it to help it breathe. I only got rid of it because I was so impressed with the new X5's otherwise I would have kept it.
