That has a lot of miles on it. I just you said it was just for hauling the toys around so either would be fine. The gas won't kill you so much because of it's limited use. I have no idea how far you drag your toys to play so the mileage/condition shouldn't be a big factor if it's just a short drive.
I have to drag toys through the desert and pass a couple of pretty good grades so i would look for a newer hauler, but that's just me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I usualy haul between 120 and 250 miles one way, with a few trips in the 40 mile one way range. I do have plenty of grades to climb no matter where I go.
Do you really think a diesel will get double the mileage B&RW?
I will also be replacing this "new truck" in about 3 years. This is a short term kind of fix. Im not too worried about my F150 hauling the new trailer as much as Im worried about it stopping it.

One thing the 460 will do is snap exhaust manifold bolts. The motor twists and the bolts just shear. So if you hear an exhaust leak on one, check those.
Here's how you stop that trailer: Tekonsha Prodigy.

What type of mileage should I be getting having 345 miles on my new PSD? Also, are the tires LT275/65R20E and 3.73 gears going to effect mileage? The truck had 240 miles on it when I picked it up, I didn't reset anything and it shows 13.2 mpg, also, I don't know what brand of fuel ( shell, chevron, texaco, ect. ) they filled it with before I took delivery. Just wondering if the mileage gets better as it gets more broken in.

That seems a little low. But if you've been getting heavy on the foot, possible. It's always best to hand calculate for your mileage. And yes, like any motor, it will get better after break-in. Break-in for a diesel however is MANY thousand miles.
