17 mpg lugging that much weight? Jesus...that's pretty nice dude. Do you have tranny slip from that yet? My friend's dad has an F-150 that slips so bad from towing his tools and it's only like 2 or 3 years old. It needs a new transmission already...if he stomps on the gas pedal, it'll just rev and roll slowly until it gets up to like 15 when it starts grabbing solid.
Nope, not at all. It get's up and moves pretty good, all things considered. I am on my second clutch, though.

BTW, Your gas tank is 15.4 gallons.
