Ok, so far i have 145 miles on the front tank. It hadn't ruin dry yet but it's about to. That's less than ten miles a gallon. Even with 285 tires that seems way low. About half of that was pulling a small trailer with a four Wheeler. That shouldn't be that much of a load at all.there had got to be something else going on. Agree/disagree????

You don't know until it's empty and you've refilled it.

Fill up the front tank then make your calculations based on how many gallons it takes to fill it back up. The fuel gauges on these trucks can be very inaccurate.

BTW...the front tank on my old 1992 F350 4x4 held 17 gallons. The rear tank 19. The rear tank would register below E after 14 gallons were consumed.
