Where do you plan on putting yours? I looked at the H T page and it seems Ok.

I tow a 28 foot bumper hitch trailer, with slide out, and it tips the scales at 8300 pounds. Add three thumpers (dirt bikes) and all of our gear in the bed we push 10000 easily. I spent the summer (9 weeks) running around Yosemite, Redwoods, Wyoming, Montana. I got 8.5mpg when I ran at 63mph or so, gas mileage goes down from there because of the gearing. And of course I ran it down I-5 at just under 80mhp, so the mileage dropped off to 7.7 and depending on my passing as low as 7.0. I definitely have used the entire RPM curve. Running the 9000 foot pass into Jackon WY, (passing diesals sucking for air) I came out of some of the 25mph curves on a 12% grade with my foot in it the Tach jumps to 4500, once the speeds back up, it goes back to lugging at 2500. Just kidding you diesal guys, I got to get back at you for the mileage you get and $/gal you pay, but I still can stand the rattle. dc - -----Original Message----- From: Lee Haefele [mailto:haefele clarityconnect.com]Sent: Friday, December 24, 1999 5:51 AM To: 97up-list ford-trucks.comSubject: FTE 97up - Towing 12k W/3.73 gears & V-10 > What about the rest of you that tow with V-10's ? Is my ride a dog ? Towing instructions said to order 4:30 gears, general instructions "Order lower gear ratio than prev years models to take advantage of wide RPM range of new engines". You do need to run the engine at a higher RPM to obtain the horsepower, the same as the boat engine. My V-10, 4:30 11,000# bucket truck has good power, better than my 89 460, 4:10. The brakes however are worthless... I bought a new GMC last month, it stops nice, was avail off the lot with a gas engine.

I have a '99 V-10 F250 SD CC w/ 3.73 (about 8000 miles) and tow a 7000 lbs trailer (loaded) 30' bumper hitch trailer. Last trip was to the "mountains" of western PA and back and I averaged 65-70mph and got 9+ mpg. Best was 9.7. Still think I can get better than 10 if I would keep to 60-65. I have a short bed w/ the 28 gallon tank and wish I had the larger tank that comes with the long bed for better range between fill ups. Best highway w/o trailer so far is just under 15 doing 70-75 mph on relatively flat highway (route 95 south to Georgia) >>> "Craig, Dennis" I have 4.30 and a V-10 F250 SD CC.
