MPG On The 2017 Ford F-250 ► What Kind Of Gas Mileage Do I Get?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2024
- So Truck Talk Tuesday is back, and this time we're talking about the MPG on my 2017 Ford F-250 Superduty. I wanted to talk about the gas mileage I've been getting while I've owned the truck for the last 6-9 months.
Many of you guys are new to the channel, but on Tuesdays we've been trying to do a Truck Talk Tuesday video, talking about my 2017 Ford F-250 Lariat truck. I wanted to do this as a way to answer some relevant questions, and help you guys decide on the truck if you're in the market.
This is just my experience when driving the truck over the last 6-9 months. Examples I go over are truck only, truck with plow, and truck with trailer. Hope the quick conversation helps you guys out.
What do you guys think about the MPG of the 17' 250's? Do you guys still prefer gas or diesel when it comes to talking fuel mileage? Leave me a comment down below!

2017 F250 6.2 along with 3.73 axel - I tow a 32' travel trailer- around 6800 dry weight & 8500lbs when full. I tow it roughly 4-5 times per year, so maybe 10 days per year. . Each trip averages roughly 90-100 miles one way. I love my truck, it's essentially perfect for me and my needs. I have noticed an ENORMOUS difference in fuel efficiency when varying my highway speeds. This is EXPONENTIALLY more evident while towing as well.
Without towing, if I maintain my max highway speed at 60mph while only commuting to work and back, which is 75% freeway and is roughly 12 miles away, I am able to average roughly 14.5-15mpg, as long as i don't ever accelerate quickly as well mind you. And then if I go 70mph and do not attempt to be fuel savvy, I will then average about 11.5-12mpg.
While towing my 8500lb Rig, my speed is even more important, as well as my acceleration. If I do not drive slowly and spend more time in 5th gear than OD, the gas mileage is laughable around 5mpg. However, if I'm cognizant of my speed and driving and try to be as fuel efficient as possible, I am able to nearly double it - around 8-10mpg (depending on the terrain)- keep in mind this will be almost ALL highway driving.
I honestly don't mind the suboptimal gas mileage to be honest, at least it hasn't been bothersome to date. . HOWEVER- In about 4 weeks, I will taking a family trip out west from Dayton Ohio all the way to the grand canyon, up through Bryce Canyon in Utah and then to Yellowstone before driving back home. . And I am SERIOUSLY dreading the drive, not because of having to pay for all the fuel or tow that far, but because of the BIGGEST ISSUE with that truck- it's ABSOLUTELY TINY 30 gallon gas tank 🙄🙄... Having to stop and refuel every 250miles(max) is going to add hours to our commute, literally...
If only the truck had a larger fuel tank - 40 gallons even would be absolutely perfect... I honestly cannot fathom someone towing a 10,000+lb fifth wheel or toy hauler with only 30 gallons of gas, regardless of the axel ratio etc.... The ONLY way I will consider buying a gas 3/4 ton pickup again- is if it at least provides an option to upgrade your fuel capacity. I know that sounds silly considering how rarely I tow, but its such an inconvenience WHILE towing to have to stop for gas every few hours, especially for me, since I always have dogs with us that get stirred up every time I stop 🙄 ugh.. otherwise, I LOVE my truck 🤷♂️
Another good one Brian always enjoy your videos so please keep them coming there appreciated thanks your friend Rocco
Truck Talk Tuesdays are back!! Nice video Brian.
Bought my first Diesel last July and it is a 2017 Ford F-250 SuperDuty Lariat. Bought it used with 1200 miles. That’s one reason I started following your channel cause of your experience buying your truck. Love your channel! Getting about 19-20 mixed driving with no trailer or hauling a heavy load. I drive a lot about 25k-30k a year though. I would get the diesel again when I buy my next truck. Does everything and more that I need it to do and the extra power is fun.
Chris Kosmet That’s cool man
great vid. I get 9.5 city 12 hwy empty, here is the lost, I only pump E85 is a life test that I'm doing. 11k miles oil changes at 4k full synthetic, no problems so far. the power is awesome on e85
The best birthday present I could have asked for a new video from Brian
2017 F250 6.2 city/hwy I get about 14-14.5, 15 on highway roughly, empty. When I have tri-axle trailer with 5ton skid steer or John Deere 50 mini excavator on I get between 10 and 13. Not the best but I did not want to pay the extra $11000 here in Canada for the diesel version. Works just the same tows great!
I got a 05 F-250 with the smaller engine 5.4L, it gives me 8-9 mpg in the city and 12-14 highway, it has 300,000 miles on the body engine and trany don't know bought it used, but so far it's a really reliable truck and it takes care of my every day need.
It’s all preference Brian! This is my first diesel hauling 12k. I feel more control versus a gas. I got it deleted and I average 21-24 6.7 at 70 mph. Towing 12k 14.5. I wouldn’t go back to a gas. All 3 Diesel engines are great. It’s the emissions that suck and make the truck suck. Get rid of that at you have an engine that’ll go 300k easily. Love your channel
This is actually funny because I was literally going to ask you to to do a video on your truck just thought of it last night. Nice looking truck!
Dakota Ellingson got you lol
I have multiple diesel trucks my main one is an 04 Chevy 2500 Duramax I pulled a 8 by 20 foot enclosed trailer I average about 13 mpg. I pull a skid steer and backhoe that brings it down to 11 MPGs.
For me a solo guy running a landscape business on a 6x12 trailer (2klbs) an F-150 w/the 2.7L turbo eco boost is averaging 18-19mph in city traffic. I can/do see 23-24 mpg on the open highway (with loaded trailer). No problems hauling 5 yards of mulch up steep inclines. I've been very impressed with the ability and cost savings of the little v-6 in comparison to an older 5.4L triton. The motor performs in its given GVW class
Jason Thomas Absolutely. I’m digging that 3.3 v6 too
Got a 15 f350 6.2l I get 11.6 mpg with trailer and 11.9 without don’t know how accurate that is. I looked at diesel but for 7300.00 I’ll keep that money and get a new mower!!! 6.2 is plenty of power and torque. Keep on keeping on Brian!!!
Nice video Brian
I have a '17 F-250 XLT Premium FX4 I bought in Oct of 2017 and it has the 6.2 gas with 3.73 gears. I have a little over 15k miles on it and combined city/hwy mileage is a consistent 14.7 mpg. I'm not a lead foot, which helps, but my daily commute is 100 miles round trip with stop and go city traffic about half the drive and interstate driving at 75-80 mph the other half of the time. I bought the F-250 to replace an F-150 when I bought my 30' boat, which weighs between 10k and 11k lbs. on the trailer depending on what I'm carrying. Mileage drops to 7-10 mpg towing, mostly flat city & highway driving. I have no complaints, the truck is strong as a bull moose empty or towing, but with the 10,000 lb. GVWR package and solid front axle it rides like a buckboard, but overall I've been real happy with it. Thought about the diesel but don't think I'd ever see a return on the investment, and didn't want to deal with the EGR system, DEF hassle, etc.
My 2012 F250 crew cab short bed 4x4 gets 17 to 19 highway, 9 to 10 in heavy stop and go traffic, and usually between 12.5 to 14 combined when not towing. Overall I'm happy with it. This is coming from a 2005 CCLB 4x4 dually with the 6.0 which only got 12mpg no matter how it was driven.
2015 Ford 6.2 4x4 with mowers / trailer 11.2 week in week out mixed route. 2002 F250 2X2 7.3 manual same trailer/mowers 16.2 week in-out. Never run empty- no numbers for that.
Awesome video and truck!
glad truck talk Tuesday is back!
Alex me too!
Good stuff buddy
The truck in my avatar is my work truck.
06 Sierra 2500HD 6.0L
14ft enclosed trailer
Pulling out of the shop Loaded with 200gal skid sprayer @ 8lbs/gal, Zspray intermediate, 2000lbs fertilizer. I average 7.7 mpg in the city. And about the same in the winter plowing snow. Something bigger would be nice but it does the trick just fine.
Loving the input. Thinking my next will be 3/4 ton. I only pull 4000 lbs on my mower trailer. But always good to have more truck. After seeing y'alls numbers however , may think about an eco boost
If you're towing all the time a bigger engine will always get better mpg. I used a 2000 Chevy Express 3500 van 5.7L (350 cubic inch) it had a 9600 GVWR.
Empty (only happened once) it got 12mpg. Loaded to full capacity (most of the time) 9-12mpg. Towing a race car, you guessed it about 9-10mpg.
My buddy towed an enclosed trailer about 7,500# ny to fla and got single digit mpg and had to drive 55 with his first generation EcoBoost 3.5. Suspension. Turbo went out too. He went back to v8
My 17 F-250 superduty Supercab 4x4 Xlt premium 6.2 , is doing around 14-17 mpg highway. Has around 10k on odometer. Gas mileage has been going up as engine breaks in more,which compared to when I first got with zero mileage on odometer and was barely doing 10mpg. Again it only did better mileage after 8,000 mark,and continues to improve. Also have a 8.6 fisher V-plow minute mount2. When I plow it does 5mpg lol. Absolutely love this truck, owned a 5.4 lariat 2006 since new and traded in for this beast and will always own a super duty for plowing.Never had any issues with both of them.Love my Ford trucks!🇺🇸👍😎
3.73 gearing forgot to mention that detail,which makes a difference.
2015 Dodge 2500 Diesel, 4x4, 4dr, Laramie. 19mpg. Would never go back to gas for 3/4 ton and up. Enjoyed your straight up honest video.
I get about 8-10MPG but I am pulling 6x12 enclosed trailer with a 4 door Jeep wrangler 6 speed with 33 inch mud tires right now. Not the most practical but it gets it done. Hope to get a truck next season.
2010 F250 V10 crew cab short bed 4x4 and it gets around 12 unloaded and 8 towing my Teryx 4, Kubota tractor, or my Toro Z-master 3000 lol.
Just drove my 2018 ford f250 6.2l off the lot today and average 9.2 mpg....hope it gets better as the engine wears in !!!
Doubtful. Why even care? One doesn't buy an f 250 for has mileage...if anything it will worsen over the years
2017 Ford F-250 crew cab 6.7 diesel, standard bed, 3.55 rear axle, 4x4, 5k miles on the truck, S&B cool air intake, averaging 18mpg between city and highway driving. Getting around 14mpg towing. Things should only get better once she’s broken in
great video brother keep up the awesome work diesel cost more to keep up have a 05 f 350 220 000 miles well kept injectors go out one a year lol keep up the awesome work
I have a 2008 F250 with the 6.4L Powerstroke. I'm averaging 19-20 MPG. I got 21.7 MPG on a trip from Fallon, NV to Redding, CA. I use the Cruise Control almost 100% of the time. If I had to do it again, I would have got the gas 6.8L or 6.2L
Around my area there’s a huge landscape company that has the one tons for work but what I have notice is that they use Toyota Prius to go look at work. That’s how they counter balance the expense on having a Goliath fleet of trucks.
Cristian Cruz that's smart, I'm thinking the same with my wife's car so I can keep burning haha
I'm in another league...😎I have a F-150 regular cab /3.7 liter v6 / 2wD/ 300hp / 270trq / 6800lb towing...I tow around 5000lbs. and average about 13mpg loaded. The truck gets about 21mpg average unloaded...I think my next truck will be the same except 4x4 and the 2.7 liter echoboost which has 325hp/375trq(more power/trq/towing)with same mpg as my 3.7 liter.👍
J's Crazy Cutz, LLC you will see 12-14 loaded and 27 empty.. amazing engine
Only issue is how long with that little engine stay together putting out that much power. I had an 80 Mustang 2.3L turbo with 140HP and #2 and #3 merged into one at 65,000 miles
@@ThePete2432 was this on his same truck with the 6.2??
We run a 2017 3/4 ton 6.0 gas Chevy Silverado and get about 10-12 pulling our heavy bumper pull dump trailer with 2 walker mowers on it.
Gas price is not the issue, it is the break even point of new new vehicle cost verse old cost. may take ten years .
If this new truck can make you more money than that is another variable.
15.2 mpg in my tuned 2012 f-250 6.7. I would definitely get the diesel again!
Dodge Cummins 2500 - 16 - 17 loaded mpg. 16' enclosed trailer. Unloaded - 21 mpg
I have a 2015 Tacoma and get 13mpg freeway commuting empty. I got 20ish in my old ‘02 Powerstroke. I just drove both gas and diesel ‘18 Super Duties. Definitely liked the way the diesel drives compared to the gas... so when I upgrade later this year it will be diesel for sure. Here in SoCal the diesels hold their value much better than gas trucks.
got a 2006 f-350 SRW 6.0 powerstroke. it gets around 16 MPG when not towing around town. and about 20-22 MPG highway whilst not towing. tbh I haven't really reset my trip odometer to see my MPG when towing my boat and my trailer, id guess around 10-12 tho
Edit: it does have a tune, so that helps the milage (something to note)
That's what my 03 Nissan Murano AWD got
Geez. Nice to know after 33 years since my truck was made we've come a long ways in technology and still getting the same gas mileage out of a 3/4 ton gas truck.... From the time my truck was stock to now a aluminum headed 351W with good exhaust, intake,carb and a good cam pushing around 350HP and 350TQ at the crank with a 3 speed trans with no overdrive or lockup, getting 10 city and 13 or so highway both stock and now.... I average 9-11 towing and hauling enough weight to put the bump stops to the rear axle. Which it takes 5200 pounds to make that happen by the way. Guess I'll just keep what I got, cheap insurance and it never really gives me any trouble.
Nothing do due with technology
Poor mpg is a conspiracy thing… keep the economy moving and the high pay jobs at Refinery… no politician wants to touch that !! 😅
Have a 99 Ford F250 4x4 with the 7.3l diesel. Only two mods. Banks could air intake and Banks dual exhaust system. There is an A.R.E. shell over the bed. Unloaded and non-towing applications: Max 19.9 mpg at 75 mph with the average being 17. City driving under same conditions averages 14.1 mpg. Towing a loaded 8x16 foot trailer loaded to 10k produces 12.1 mpg. Around town is 8.5 mpg.
I should say it is a 2015 with 100,000 miles on it that i bought new 3 years ago in October so i do put alot of miles on it.
My 01 Cummins with 4.10 gears gets 13-14 mpg in town with my lawn trailer. 21 mpg hwy unloaded. Paid 10k for truck 8 years ago. Have put about 7k total into it with suspension upgrades, ATS Stage 3 trans, etc.
My Dodge 2500 GAS gets 8-10 mpg towing trailer in town. It has 3.55 gears and NEEDS 4.10 gears! Brian, what gear ratio is in your axles?
My father just retired after being a test driver at the GM Proving Grounds in Milford Brian. In his 39.8 years working as a test driver. He's driven all the different generations of models and packages of these trucks from 1500 on up. He's even driven the competitions trucks to test n compare em. In all his time there he said all the trucks every package has gotten shitty MPG's ALWAYS! Doesn't matter what they do, they have and will always get shit MPG's plain n simple lmao so dont feel bad and second guess yourself.
Kyle Winconek Lol cool cool and ya I grew up 5 mins from there!
Kyle Winconek Sadly that is about as well said as could be... Wish it were different. Thanks for sharing that.
2012 6.2L F350 CrewCab Dually Lariat 2wd Gasser. 15.5 city 17 Hwy. 18k miles on truck. Neighbor has new 2019 F250 CrewCab 4x4 Diesel and said he got 17 Hwy on his trip to Canada and
back. Biggest thing I found to get better mpg in Gasser is to reset throttle position. Really increased throttle response and mpg.
My old 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 8.1 Allison,I get 7.1-7.5 mpg towing my 8.5x20 enclosed haulmark trailer that weighs about 7500 lbs.Same truck gets 8.5-10 without the trailer around town and 13 highway.
2018 F350 6.7 Crew Cab short box. 2900 miles, best 16.3, 15.5 Average
i have crabs and a 2018 f250 6.2L gas with 800 miles on it and with 295 x 70 tires and have been averaging 10.5 without trailer and about the same with a trailer so thinking about trading in on a diesel.
I love my diesel trucks,2001 F250 and the other is 2007 F350
I have had the 6.7 powerstroke. The 3.5 EcoBoost and the 5l V8. The 6.2 from ford is by far the best value for your money when you're towing / hauling 10,000 lbs or less across all these engines. A big factor is also running a 3/4 ton chassis or bigger. Half tons are grocery getter trucks.
2018 2500 duramax best I've seen empty for maybe half an hour at highway speed is 23mpg. Most I've loaded is just shy over 10k lb got a little over 12mph in central Texas got it Dec. 1st and to date has 14827 miles on it just because on a 3 day weekend we can put 1000 miles on the truck I would stick to the diesel but if I just drove around town with the occasional weekend toys 2 hours away from home would get a gas truck
My 1993 F-250 (4x4, 5 sp) ex cab long bed with a 7.3 diesel gets 13-15 pulling my 7x12 enclosed trailer and 15-18 empty. :) Not bad for $3500 truck.
Square Fords rock! Got a 1991 f150 i use for mowing. About 500-800 miles a week if I don't go far or use it for personal stuff.
Nice! I have a '93 F250 Diesel 4x4, 5 spd, as well. Empty, just running around town, it gets 18 mpg just about every fill-up. 3.55 gears in it, long bed, single cab.
2016 Cummins ram 15 around town and 17 on highway pulling my mowing setup.
2012 F-250 XLT crew cab V8 6.2 gas I'm getting 15.5-17's empty on the freeway doing 65-60 mph respectively. 13 around town. I just bought the truck and had to get it weighed to register it and it came in with all fluids filled up 7080 lbs.
99 Dodge Ram 5.2 gas I get 10 mpg with or without trailer just gets 10 mpg lol
Got a 16 6.7 CCSD/F-250. This last pan of oil I’m at about 6.000 and avg mph is 14.2. Last pan after I lifted and re calibration of speedo I got 13.3mpg, was a little heavy in the foot. I’m glad I got the 6.7, nervous with all of the diesel costs and issues but willing to invest. They say it’s at the most 1% of truck owners are on the forums and that there isn’t as much failures as people say.....
99 f250 7.3 PSD.. towed a 8k lb trailer from Colorado to Florida for a military move and truck got 13 MPG. Truck unloaded on the highway gets 19MPG
I got a 12’ 350 with the 6.7 was averaging 10-13mpg till i removed the egr and dpf now I’m around 17-20 on the same setup
Do you have a link anywhere with all the specs on your truck like payload, gear ratio, options? Would love to see it if you do as I'm in the market for an F250 Gasser Lariat trim just like yours. Came across your channel on my feed and have been binge watching for the past day. Love the content (both truck, lawn, and plow related). Thanks for taking the time to share it with everyone and keep up the great work.
Thanks pal! I don't.. but it's pretty straight forward like you said. 17 Gas, Lariat with the LED's and Fx4. I can't remember the gears but I think it's the 4:33 or whatever, not the 3:73. Rock on pal
I have 29,000 already on my 17 f250 lariat which is probably your trucks twin minus the color I have the ruby red. with the 6.2 gas motor. I run a plumbing business in Massachusetts I'm now nervous because my truck will be a year old beginning of July and was hoping to end the first year around 20,000 time will tell u usually trade them in every 4 to 5 years and start over !!!!
I have a 2016 RAM 2500 with the 6.7 Hemi. Hauling around 8x20 enclosed trailer and get roughly 8-9mpg
14mpg around town empty in my tuned 2013 F150 5.0. But who really buys a truck for gas mileage? lol
I've had the f350 dually 6.7 diesel and I sold it to buy the 6.2 f250 so glad I did that. Just the price of oil changes not that that had anything to do with selling it I just felt I didn't need it to tow our 8,000 lb rv trailer. Gas is alot better with the 6.2 and it rides so much better when I'm not hooked up. The cost difference between buying diesel vrs gas about 10K so Unless your towing big payloads I'd stick with gas.
Diesel engines don't last as long as they used to, the EPA killed them. I had a dodge diesel every time something broke if was 3k. I now own a F-550 with the 6.8 gas motor. I could replace the whole engine for 5k. I get 8 mpg. I own a weed control company and have a 500 gallon tank on it and carry a z sprayer on a custom platform on the back (no trailer). I'm am in neighborhoods all day long turning the truck on and off about 20 times a day. Nothing is going to get milage in that situation. Ford is the only manufacturer that one can buy a gas motor over a one ton. Thanks for sharing.
I really thought your truck would do better than that but its good to hear some real world mpg's on the new superduty gas I have a 1994 dodge ram 2500 12 valve cummins and I tow my lawn outfit witch is a 7x20 trailer with two turf tigers and all the other tools and get 18 mpg loaded and 21 mpg empty can't beat the old 12 valves .........
My ram 3500 Cummins gets about 10mpg around the city with a similar trailer to yours. On the highway diesels are so much better than gas and I feel as though diesels are more reliable
My 2019 chevy 6500HD dump truck (for lawncare and landscape bissness) runs on diesel engine I can get 12 MPG (empty and no trailer) 9 MPG (with trailer) 7 MPG (trailer and loaded) 6 MPG (with skidsteer and loaded)
One thing I see almost everyone leaving out is what gear does the truck have. With 4 options from 3.31 to 4.30 that can make a huge difference on mpg and how it tows. Brian, what gear your truck have?
4.3!
2000 f350 6.8 v10 I get about 11-12 empty and about 8-9 towing the 16ft trailer
2017 f-250 crew cab 6.2 gas. best is 12mpg. 8.9 avg including pull a 7x14 enclosed trailer with a zspray with 1000# of fert and other tools. 7.4 to 8.1 during snow with a boss 8' and 8' ebling back blade.
2011 chevy silverado 2500HD with 6.0 gas guzzler. I pull an open 14 foot tandem axle trailer with 2 big mowers and other various stuff. I am getting between 10 to 12mpg.
I just upgrade to 3500 Cummings and I went Diesel and I don’t poll much but I do a lot of traveling and I need big truck cause just do snow plowing and up upper up we get a lot of snow I get close to 25 on the high way and 17 in the city
2017 F250, 6.2 cc...17mpg hwy (best), 10.3mpg pulling 10k 5er and basic flat hwy. 13-14 mpg around town
I have a 2008 f250 6.4 turbo diesel I loved the thing did about 16 mpg on hwy. Empty and 8 loaded 11k lbs. I can say that the engines now are nothing like the old ones I bought it with my dad's blessing and input on how diesel was so much better then gas. But after owning mine and reading tons of stuff on the newer models not worth it anymore the reliability just isn't there anymore. Not only do they maybe last 100k miles but if u need engine work its almost always lift the body that's 20 hrs labor to start. To me now it seems if you need a desiel might as well go class 7 medium duty truck.
Brian, i just bought a 2018 f250 xlt 6.2 and i put a k&n cold air intake on mine. It gave me about 2 more mpg. Not a lot but for the size on the engine and its stock mpg, anything helps lol.
Lol true
i have a ford f150 super crew Lariat 3.5 echoboost 4x4 pull a 7x16 enclosed an get around 14 mpg
I have a Lariat 2018 F250 6.2 gas. Only drive very short trips. I don't really pull anything but wanted a Full crew cab and eight foot box. You can't get that in an F150. Averaging 13 to 15 for where I'm driving but go pretty easy on it.
I have a 2017 F250 6.2L. Have you changed the fuel filters? The dealer wants $450 to change them. How do you change them?
I have a 1987 f250 with 7.5 v8 pulling a 18 foot trailer I always get 7-8 mpg put it’s not fuel injected
09 6.7 Cummins deleted. Same size inclosed as yours I get 15.2. Empty around 20-22mpg. Before deleting got 8-9 mpg towing only 13-14 empty. Lowest I’ve seen it go after deleting was low 13s mpg pulling well over gvwr that was around 17 thousand lbs.
I noticed you mention the word delete what did you delete I'm new to diesel trucks terminologies I'm trying to debate between a diesel in a gas pick up either 2500 Dodge or a 250 Ford I had a Dodge gas that I loved but the frame rusted-out I live in Florida and the dashboard crack to s*** in a transmission went sideways my work trucks at the company I worked for were always Ford's and didn't give me any problems so my question is which is the better way to go to 6.7 for the F250 powerstroke
My Tacoma is getting 13MPG unloaded. I guess I shouldn't have put those big tires on it, lol.
2017 F250 lariat super duty diesel for me. I get 18.7 avg without pulling anything and 9.2-12 pulling either landscape trailer or my 8.5 x 19ft enclosed.
Diesel cost more and I will get a newer truck but since this one is diesel I can hold onto it or pass it down to the crew in a few years. Truck cost 70k but still worth it
I get 5-6 mpg towing 11,000 lbs in the mountains in my 17' 6.0l chevy 3500 cc, sb, srw. Im sure i could get better if slowed down buuuuutttt, na. Does good enough for me. Like a lot of people, it spends a fair amount of time hauling sailboat fuel, getting anywhere from 10-16 mpg. So far I'm satisfied but I'm hopeful they'll have a new gas powertrain soon
Eric Mackison who wants to drive slow hahaha🏁
330turbo you got it!! Hammer down!!
2010 chevy 2500 with the gas 6.0 I get 10 mpg average. Best I got on a highway trip was 15mpg
2017 f250 4 door 6.2 gas ...just like yours... 13-14 empty highway... 9-10 with trailer... 8 with gooseneck and tractor (10,000lbs) ... Truck Has Trailer On Back 95%... 1 Year And 3 Months Old.. 4700 Miles.
I have a 2012 silverado 2500hd with a 6.0 gas. I get about 11 around town. But I also have a 35 foot fifth wheel and when I pull that I get around 8 mpg.
Have a 2013 f250 6.2 v8. Pulling enclosed trailer 8x16. Dash board computer says 10 - 12 mph. But when I do the math its more like 8 mpg. I would buy this truck with the 6.2 gas again..
imowslc same!
I had a 6.4 hemi ram. Mileage was terrible. Went to a diesel and never looked backed. I tow a 12000lb 5th wheel once or twice a month otherwise I drive 14 miles a day for work. Mpg are better all around till it does a regen. Cost to fill them up are about the same due to I get a little more to a tank with the diesel and when towing I can go almost 70 miles more per tank. I.bought into that diesel is not the way to go anymore and i won't make that decision anymore. Maintenance is more buy not by much. I have never had an emissions problem or any other problems yet(knock on wood)! 6.4 Hemi has the power but mpgs are just terrible.
2012 6.2 16 hwy, 13 around town unloaded, 10-11 16’ enclosed, 8 hauling 12,000 tractor
Gas for maintenance crews all day.. anything I ever saved running a diesel was thrown into maintaining it. And most importantly never a ford diesel... anything after the old 7.3 can’t make it over 100,000 miles without tens of thousands of dollars thrown at the engine. Just my 2 cents, have experienced too many trucks to count in all brands
I agree with you. But I have a diesel because my main work truck also has to pull my toy trailer to the beach 😁
However, I'm starting to get sick of diesel on a day to day basis. Heavier. More $$ fuel. More $$ maintenance. Noisier. And I'll not own another out of warranty, so ultra $$ buying new only.
yeah exactly deisel is not worth the better mpgs it gets seeing how an oil change take 16 litres of oil vs 6 litres. the oil changes themselves are 2-3 times more expensive
I’m gettin 15.2 empty and twelve with my 9.6 fisher and I have an almost identical truck just a king ranch with 4:30’s
I have had both a 2017 and now my 2020 and I can’t get the mpg over 12.8 and I haven’t towed anything yet is their an upgrade?
12 to 14 towing my mowing trailer with my 07 Ranger 4.0L v6
18-20 empty.... but that's never.
I've never done under 30k miles a year. About 200 miles a day for me
I heard good things about Chevy's duramax diesel for plowing
I have a 2018 f350 6.2 dually crew cab and 8’ bed and 410 gears and I get 10mpgs traveling 40miles a day highway miles
I have a 06 ram 1500 with 4.7 v8 I spend about $600 a month. I drive all over Orlando. I get about 14-16 empty. I get around 11 pulling my two mowers and equipment. I say the trailer way just over 4k. Not sure the total amount of miles I could add it up and let you know if your interested. Would love a diesel.
I was only getting 14.5 at best in a 16 f350 diesel cclb srw hauling a 22' gooseneck with a Max of 10k lbs on it and my 02 Chevy 2500hd with the 8.1l gas/Allison with 240k on her would get the same on the highway loaded
I really appreciate the comments here. You wouldn't be surprised how the stats read- saying 30 mpg highway on the F250. Lol. Glad to get some real stats and honesty going on. Thanks to all.
I love truck truck
10 to 11 mpg on my gas silverado 2500, about 8 to 8.5 when plowing
do video about how you are righting it off
That’s a tough one. Just get a good Cpa. They know way more than I do
The thing I don't get is I drive a Semi. Maxed out at 80k I get about 7mpg, with no trailer (Bob tail) doing 60 it still weighs 20k and I get 15mpg. Did heavy haul usually 134k-154k and got about 6mpg. My 99 dodge conversion van gets 11-13mpg. Don't freaken get it. Current semi has 15L 10 speed manual with 2.47 rear end... It hates hills but goes nice in the flats.
I Don't worry about MPG too much as long as we are charging enough it doesn't bother me. And I really like diesel in anything bigger than an f250 but my nexy f250 will most likaly be diesel
