2001 F-350 Psd

Alright guys, I've told y'all that I'm gonna be getting a new vehicle for driving back and forth to school, and I found this 2001 F-350 Ext. cab short bed, dually on eBay for $1K outta Texas. My question is, What kinda gas mileage do the Powerstrokes put out?? If I remember correctly I thought is was about 20mpg? can anybody help me out on this? Thanks.

I can't help you with the gas milage part , but wish to congratualte you on buying a used truck from Texas. That is the Truck capital of the US. More then likely the truck will have very little if any rust. unless its been damaged of course. I love Texas, they do it bigger and better. Gl with new truck...

Personally, I think you Dad is correct again!! A diesel dually would not be practical in college.

I really think they get bad gas mileage

But diesel should probably be around 15 to 18.

Our 96 powerstroke gets about 13-14 pulling an 8000# trailer. In town it gets about 18-20. pulled a 12,000# trailer and it got about 9-10.

I think Fordborn is pretty accurite. It depends a little on which rear end is in the truck and your driving habits. I have the 3:73's which I believe get the better of the two, but also truck configuration and weight have a little effect as well. Anyway, the blue book on that vehicle is still probably over 20K, so I would be very leary of any price that seems to low. On a side note, I just had my truck in the local Ford dealer and they charged me $90 for an oil change, up $20 since the last time. I will be shopping around before the next one, but that's a consideration before buying a diesel!!

Well, this one had the 4.10 rear end. I was $1K bC that's what the auction was at, its risen since then, and about the oil change... why not do it yourself? its much cheaper.

A dually will get old real fast unless you pull big things with it. A dually on campus?! Too much and a one ton to boot. I think you could find a much better vehicle for going to class than a F350 dually IMHO.
