Hi All

What sort of MPG are you getting with the 6.0? I'm thinking of purchasing a 2003 250 with the 6.0.

 

Right now I am getting about 11 miles to the gallon. This with about 60 to 70% towing a 24' trailer with anywhere from 4000 lbs to 14000lbs

 

I get about 15 City, 18-19 Highway. I try and keep it below 2000rpms and/or under 75mph.

 

o6 F350,auto,373 gears=15 mpg for me

 

o3 6.0 sdc 4x4 146,000 mls get 19 to 20 hwy. 15 to16 pulling keep it under 2000 rpms

 

Thanks all for the info. Bustaduck you have the same year as the one I'm looking at. Any engine issues I should know about? Mine has 126000 miles on it. When you say keep it under 2000 do you have a manual or auto? If it's auto there 's not much you can do is there?

 

I have a 05 F350 KR auto 3.73 and get between 13-15 in the city, and all the may from 18-22 on the HWy depending on speed: at 60-65 will be mid-low 20s...so far i'm really pleased

 

06 F-350, 3.73 gears, 16-20 MPG Highway depends all on how i drive it.
Pulling 6000lbs horse trailer with or without a few horses i get 12 -13 MPG.
Diesel Kleen ever tank.

 

In my 03 I get about 17 to 19 mixed driving, say 60% highway.

 

Thanks Mike. how do like the truck in general?

 

06 250 (43k miles) with 35" mud tires and get 11-12 in town and 17-18 at 70 mph on intertate. Average on lie-o-meter reads 13.5. Im about 60% highway 40% town

 

hey the only thing that I have had to replace is the HPOP COST was $2800 and reflashed

 

I got well the lie-o-meter on the last move I had 16 something and by the time I got to MISSISSIPPI at my location it was down to 10.6 or 8 . How do you keep everything below 2000rpm?While pulling I pull a 9000lbs camper bumper pull. Is there a trick to towing to keep it at or around 2000rpm? Is it a trick with the tow haul or what?

 

I pulled my horse trailer from Fla. run around 65 70 mph 14 to15 MPG run in stock mode trailer weight with 3 horses is about 8000 lbs it's a goose neck 30ft long with living qauters up front

 

I know if you keep it below 2000rpm mpg goes to the good side.But what about when it gets hilly and the truck downshifts?( AUTOMATIC) This was my first trip since the ARPS were done. Always raising the hood, but watching the mileage .I guess I need to weight the camper or get my injectors cleaned or something I've never got that goo while towing.Is there something I'm missing??Thanks for the input!
