It is getting in the 12mpg to 14 mpg range. Enjoy your new truck--just don't go drag racing it! It has soooo Much power and pulls anything you put behind it, I get 20 to 22 Mile to a gallon of diesel if its summer. See if I can answer all the questions here. But towing the same horse trailer gets 11-12, go figure. But you're a smart guy and you already probably figured that out.
I did have a few chances to pull my Revenge with the 350 before I sold the boat. If you are only trailering once every 2 weeks and just doing general commuting the rest of the time, you probably shouldn't concern yourself with the towing mileage of a gas engine. If your going to get a super duty gas go with the V-10. But I love this truck. Your name and email is not exposed to Forum users, only the Screen Name is accessible or viewable.
Ford makes an F250 6. . When I first bought my one-ton 4x4 dump, it had a carb'ed 305 in it. But, if you're asking about miles per gallon, then it is highly dependant on how you drive, the model year and size of the engine, i. I have a 2005 V10 F250.
Performance tune the engine and transmission. If you change trucks every 90k miles or so no problem, I just didn't think it would do for long term hauling. The only thing better is a diesel but they are more expensive and the fuel right now anyway it a lot more. And ya your programming will efffect your fuel mileage so will gears and tires. Please read this message in its entirety. With uncommon strength and pulling power, these brutes earn their keep by working like a draft horse. I then bought a 2001 V-10 and got a bigger skidloader and some other trailers that endded up at about 20-21K and the V-10 still did a good job, but the mileage while pulling was 4.
Only downside to my truck is that I got one with bad ju ju or a curse on it. If you do a lot of highway driving or dont drive as hard or dont idle as much your v10 numbers could be better. Its the best investment you can make for a Super Duty truck. And it seems every one of these trucks has it's own personality, so what works for me might not work for you. Got around 13-14 in town. As others said a little underpowered. I now have a new-used 2007 F250.
I will then tell you how to do it. Now I have the 2001 F250 with a 6 stage chip , Wickett wheel installed in the turbo ,Gauges I up graded the tranny with a Stage 3 Tourque converter, The stock R4100 Tranny cant withstand the power this motor has to put out. Truck got 10mpg regardless of speed on interstate and 14-15mpg around town. Mine has 4:10 gears and it tows and pulls all of my stuff just fine. On the highway, it would probably be a little better. Usually ran it in 2wd Hi.
I will say that I had a hard time finding a good used truck. I am looking at a few diesels as well, so obviously they are bigger, but all gas F250s on my list are 5. I recently bought a 2001 f250, which replaced my 2001 excursion. Will sometimes get 11 empty. But I idle alot and have a lot of short trips and sometimes my truck dosnt warm all the way up.
I was pulling a lot at this point in my business and it was 14-15K. With the trailer on for the whole tank, it will be roughly 8. They were all too new to be affordable or too old to be useful for long hauls. I saw the post on the 6L Ford diesel regarding fuel mileage which is what I really wanted but had to settle on a gas. I still haven't figured out why it goes up over 70mph, must be coming up on a sweet spot on the cam.
