What V8? Twin Turbo V6 (hybrid?)

I got mixed up. Thought it was a v8. Loved my twin turbos on my old ecoboost.

I get butterflies in my stomach every time I drive or wash it lol.

I plan to drive it into the ground. I had a '19 V8 for a few years but downsized to a smaller SUV due to a longer work commute. I lost a ton of utility in that move, that, and I simply did not fit well in the SUV (6'7). The rest of the family is gigantic as well. I eventually plan to get a boat, and this will serve me well in hauling that around.

Technology is crazy! Ford offered me 70,000-mile tires with a warranty at the dealership because mine are getting bald. I was like since when do they last that long lol

She's pretty. Love the color. I may have missed it but what's the mpg on the v8? Now that I'm commuting and highway driving my mpg on my 7.3l F250 is about 16.5.

It's a V6 twin-turbo hybrid. I'm getting ~17.6mpg combine, which is not fantastic. But I didn't necessarily buy it for stellar fuel economy.

It's called they are hard as rock...so sacrifice grip for tread life.

Ive just got those defender2 on my camry last spring and they absolutely suck in the rain and snow.
First time ive ever thought about getting dedicated snow tires and wheels. Still have 65k miles to go on them if they last. Thats like 4 more winters. Ugh. Haha
Definitly a huge tradeoff for extra mileage.

I stole 2x8 GB DDR4 SO-DIMMs out of my son’s busted laptop to upgrade it from 4GB. (16GB DDR4 2933MHZ kits were going for over $90)

Got sick again so dinner out tonight was cancelled but I did sneak out and get some supplies for the storm. Almost 4lb of wing parts for the games tomorrow, and some beef for my cast iron wok stir fry. WF was so much closer so I didn't go to Costco and I could not in good faith spend the money on WF meat prices - I got beef chuck stew parts for the beef with broccoli at the same price per pound as Costco would sell me flank steak. But since I will be velveting it properly, it will be fine.
