34" tires and 430s here.... seeing 11.5 combined empty and 10 towing. Not great mpg, but she tows like a champ.


I bet if I did some searching, I'd find my V10s mileage in old treads here... but, if memory serves me correct, I was getting six or seven combined in that. This truck is a HUGE step forward for me.

 

What kind of towing do u do to get 10mpg? Are there no hills, the best I can get with TT is 9.5.

 

my towing is around 9

 

It's a open car hauler... about 8500 pounds. Running at 60 for the most part and it seems to me that almost every road in CA is a grade.

 

Yesterday I drove 150 miles with the cruise set at 65 for almost the whole time and got 18.3 mpg. That speed is slow, but I was impressed with the MPG. Truck has 6500 miles on it.

 

1,200 miles round trip Northern Illinois to Voyageur National Park towing a 7,400 lbs. Boat and Trailer. Averaged 9.3 MPG.

 

I guess I'm not to far off on mine. Thought something was wrong with me only 8.7 on 130 mile trip. But I have a 9000lbs TT and a golf cart in the bed. The TT is also 10' tall, so that will hurt more then the weight.

 

i have a 2011 F-250 CC SB, 4x2, 3.73 with 7,100 miles. i get 13 city and 16-17 highway doing 65 MPH. With my 3,000 lb camper i consistently get 12-13 MPG, not too shabby considering the mountainous terrain here in AZ.

 

I miss that terrain! Born and raised in Mesa/Gilbert.

 

Cool! I live in Mesa.

 

My new F250 now has 1600 miles on it. We took our (so far) longest trip today, 170 miles. Driving 70 the average was 14.8. I do not know if it will limber up and do any better or not.

We have a 1150 mile (one way) trip planned for the 1st of August with the Outfitter truck camper loaded. I'm anxious to see what it will do then.

 

Knothole -- Nice looking SD! We both have very similiar taste...

So...what is your build date? Gear axle ratio?

I have just over 1600 miles on mine...and loving all of it!

what is the mpg for 4x2 f250 xlt? hwy, city, towing

 

same setup as listed getting 12-13 city 14-16 hwy. been light footing it to see what i could get.

 

The axles are 3.73, but I do not have the date handy. The truck is back in the garage and I will load the Outfitter truck camper tomorrow. Maybe I will remember to look. (I edited my signature to show a bit more.)

I am hoping that the truck camper will not knock the MPG back but a couple of notches.
