I had a good opportunity today to check my mileage while towing. Had a 16' trailer that weighs about 3500 lbs, plus one small cow inside. Towed for about 150 miles and averaged 11.5 mpg.

 

I tow a 14k lb fifth wheel and get 9 mpg with a F450 4.30 rear end at 65 mph.

 

10,000 lbs. 5th wheel 10 to 12 depending on the terrain. I averaged 11.0 on trip from ohio to florida earlier in the year.

 

Hmmmm!! I pull a 26ft TT, run 60 to 65, average is about 10.2-11.3 pulling it with 08 F250, 6.4L, 11000 miles (approx)

 

'08 F450 4.88 towing a 26,000 lb trailer 7.2 mpg.

 

I pull a 24ft toy hauler, averages 6-9 hand calulated. This is my first ford and if mileage does not improve, my last ford truck.







2008 f250 fx4 6.4 3.73

 

I have a job # 3 F350 DRW CC, 172" WB with a 4.30 RE. I pull a 30 ft gooseneck trailer loaded down weighing approx 14,000lbs and get up to 9.5 if I stay at 65mph.

If I pull the same load at 75mph my mileage goes down to 7 and change.

My mileage has improved slightly since I have owned the truck but I was very careful during the initial break-in period to make sure I did everything correctly and I am sure that helped.

 

I am almost 30,000. 40 ft toy hauler with two harleys. At 72-75 I get 6.5 and seven when I get to Fl. Love my truck and my seventh dually. Thinking about a Spartan tuner.........-20 wind chill here in Akron, Ohio. Leaving for Fl. Feb 5th...can't wait..lol

 

Anywhere from 9 to 11MPG depending on the conditions pulling around 13K of 5th wheel. We do keep it at 60/62 mph. We have 16,800 on the truck. Averaged 10.1 from Northern Ohio to Central Florida in October. The 07 Dodge behind us pulled the same camper from Kansas, City and the guy three spots down pulled a similar camper from NY State with a 07 Chevy. We all got 10. something. We are satisfied.

 

2400 mile through the Dakota's and Black Hills pulling a 9000# 5th wheel 9 to 10.5 mpg with 2500 miles on the truck when the trip started.

 

My rental has 24k on it. NOT towing, cruising at highway I can get 15mpg. City I get 13. Towing my empty 4500lbs gooseneck I can get 13mpg under 65, 11mpg at 75mph. Loaded up to 10k I get 11 at 60-65, 9 at 70.

 

Pulling a 9600lb 5th wheel, 12mpg without any wind flat land 65 to 70MPH. Hills head and tail winds same speed 9.9mpg

 

Towing our 38' 5th wheel toy hauler w/o toys (bout 11,500#)
going 70-75 mph (out west speed limit) will get 6.5-8mpg

Towing my 18' car hauler with a 4k# Toyota rock krawler on it. from Vegas to moab and back....keep the cruise on 69mph got 10 mpg.....

my buddy behind me towing with his 7.3 pwrstroke..(identical lift/tires/4x4/etc.) towing his Toyota got 13mpg...

we would fill up and i consistently would put 4-5 more gal of diesel.....

I shoulda kept my 02 7.3.....BUT this is the nicest / quietest diesel Ive owned....

 

I tow a 38' 15K 5'ver, and get 9.5-11.5 at 60/62 mph depending on the terrain.

F350 C/C 4X4 DRW 4.10LS
