What is the gas milage on Ford F250's?

[Cooter]

I've got a 6.4 and do a fair amount of business with a top notch ford diesel mechanic in the area. Months of exposure at his shop has kinda made me more comfortable with the previous generations. I still think the HEUI system is an overly-complex Rube Goldberg monstrosity though.

I think this truck went and converted me. At this point, the only dodge diesel I can reasonably see myself owning is a 2nd gen 12v

a studded/ EGR deleted 6.0 is actually a halfass decent rig (can't believe I'm saying this)

7.3's don't have enough power for my taste

6.4's rule the fucking world

ZOMG! Cooter talks Ford Diesel! What is this world coming to

Right. I like the cummins but i dont like the body they are in. With that 99 I mentioned I was pulling 18 running 70 on the highway, truck had 300k on it. It had been through one transmission, its still being used as a work truck. Motor has never been apart and its had some sort of chip in it for most of It's life. I miss driving it. One of my cousins is selling a pretty clean last year 7.3 for 15, under 100k.

Seriously? Some of the comments in this thread are fucking ignorant at best. He asked about mileage not what the fastest hd truck is. The 7.3 may not be the next ferrari but they are reliable. I'd take the 300k mile '99 250 work truck I was driving over a fox body any day. 10 minutes to 80?

I highly doubt that too, I am not looking for the fastest thing on the block. I would have bought a Lightning. I know the duramax is a good engine, I am just not a Chevy fan, the cummins I would take, if the damn things were not so pricey.

The fuel mileage isnt impressive to me is why IMO is a crock of shit... I love ford only drive fords but when I bought my 09 F150 It didnt grab me.

The impressive part is that they paid $895 extra (over the 5.0-liter V-8) to get the Ecoboost V-6. They will save some money on gasoline, but the fuel economy difference between the two engines really is not that great. With rear-wheel drive, the Ecoboost F-150 gets 16/22 mpg, which beats the V-8 version by 1 mpg, both city and highway. The four-wheel-drive Ecoboost is rated at 15/21 mpg, which betters its V-8 counterpart by 1 mpg city and 2 mpg highway. Ecoboost owners who drive 15,000 miles per year will save a little less than $200 annually at the pump (with gas at $3.23 a gallon).

ecoboost is a crock of shit..

Explain your reasoning?

Everybody that I know with an ecoboost f-150 loves them.

[Redd]

Just get a new Ecoboost. I'm seeing a solid 18mpg with mixed driving and getting on it pretty often. They tow really good also. My brother bought a new dodge diesel and he cusses that thing everyday. He says he has to drive it like a grandma to barely get 15mpg and it's all stock also.

I had a 03 F350 7.3L Long Bed CC Fx4 with a leveling kit and 35's on it. It had a AFE intake, bully dog 4" from the turbo back and 10K Mod. I drove to syracuse Ny from here and only filled up twice, when I left then I topped off in east tennesse and did not fill up agin until Hershey PA. I made another trip to AZ and left here with a full tank stopped in west TX at rest area and left it running about 2-3 hrs and grabbed a nap, then filled up in El Paso. I ran 70-80 both trips sometime faster.

The wife and Kiddo hated it because I said no bathroom breaks except when we stop for fuel, yea that plan backfired.

My 03 6.0 going 70 from Houston to Waco and back could pull 23-24 on the lie on meter.

With that said I have the top end all apart replacing the clogged oil cooler from the previous owner.

[Redd]

I averaged around 19-20 according to the lie-o-meter on the dash, doing 65 coming home on 287 from arlington to midlothian. I was gandpa driving it lol Im normaly 70-80mph person. At the higher speeds im still not dipping below 15.

I have 2006 6.0 f250. Taking of the huge ass cat converter and stock muffler opened mine up alot. Mine had a large "race bullet" style muffler on it and I yanked the cat off. Mine dosent take forever to get to 80mph.

Uhhhh, they don't use a drop! C'mon James

Fill one with gas and tell me how many miles you get per gallon!

[Chas_svo]

my point was they run on DIESEL not GAS so they don't get good GAS mileage

Diesel milage lol

My 00 7.3 usually gets about 17-18 on highway. Its 2wd CC auto. When pulling my race car and trailer I see about 14.

Love the truck.

There was a reason the 7.3 was ran for 10 years vs the 6.0 for less then 10. The 6.0 trucks are nicer inside, yes but vs the dependablity of the trucks, I would honestly trust the 7.3 over the 6.0.
