What is the gas milage on Ford F250's?

[sspstang]

I got better mileage with my 6.0 than I did my 7.3's. Empty and stock I would get 16ish on the highway (F-350 4x4 SRW crew cab). Pretty similar in town, it didn't vary much.

With a tune on there I was closer to an average of 18.2 with a best of 20.2 on an extended trip. Pulling would vary greatly but the lowest I saw was around 5 mpg at 24,000lbs in an 75mph headwind going through Kansas. That sucked.

That is better then I thought. I like the changes in 03, what should I look for as problem areas?

oh, and before it gets tagged, "dville will tune it" "dville wont run 5.85" "dville+diesel=#1tunna" "sam sucks" "dville+sam 4ever" etc. etc.

V10 will get you around 10ish city and maybe 13 highway.

read: gas mileage in any diesel motor is going to be terrible since it is a diesel motor not gas.

As long as 15 was possible, I would be ok with that, as its a lot bigger of a truck.

gas mileage in a 7.3 or 6.0 would be pretty terrible i'd imagine.

I am highly considering selling my F150, and picking up a F250. 7.3 or 6.0. I might also consider a 5.4 or V10, but I would rather have a diesel. I can get 19-20 in my truck, and 16 in the city. It is a 5.4 3v. What also would I need to consider with buying a diesel, as far as things that break, or go wrong with them? I know I could google this crap, but I would rather hear people that actually have them, and there opinion.
