f350
I'm thinking about buying aa 1995 Power Stroke f350 7.3 crew cab long bed 4x4. It has 180,000 miles. How many miles can i expext to get out of the truck? If I'm hauling a 7,500 trailer what kind of milege can i expect? I currently own a 2003 f250 5.4 gas. Love the truck not good on power or fuel economy.

I haul closer to 6000 lbs and get 12-14mpg but Im lifted and modified. you prolly have 4.10 gearing like I do which brings down mileage as well so i would maybe expect similar to me, otthers on here can give you a better idea though.

If the truck is well maintained then 180k isnt even its half life as far as Im concerned.

I have a completely stock 97 F-250 7.3 with a E4OD and 4:10 gears and I just found a couple of receipts from a few months ago. I got 18.4 (empty) one time on the highway but another time I got 16.4 (empty) on the highway. In town I got 15.2 (empty). I haven't checked the mileage while pulling my 24' 5th wheel RV yet. The highway miles where averaging 65 to 75 mph. A F-350 would probably get less.

There is no way in this world you are getting that mileage hauling that weight lifted and modified with 4:10 gears. I get 15 mpg driving empty. Might wanna hand calc it. To the OP, no one can tell you what kind of mileage you will get. It depends on 1500 different factors of which we know nothing about here. A guesstimate, with a bone stock truck in good running order, driving normally...you might get 10-11....MAYBE
Looks like your a dually which wont match a SRW truck. I know for a fact I dont get down to 10mpg. 11 maybe if im diesel dumping but i watch that and try to keep to a min. For me, 14 Ive gotten on a few occasions but 12 more conststently. Im pretty religous at tracking this stuff. I also know my calcs could off due to oversize tires.

I just got ....22 mpg in my lifted 350 with 3.55 gears lol I am still in awe.I get 17 round town. I might as well not own a trailer no more often than iI tow. That 8k you will be wanting more power ..that will make mileage less also.I would believe 14 or so driving easy.its all about your foot and how fast you drive.
