1994 F-250 Ext Cab, 8' bed. Factory Turbo, 4x4, 4.10 gears, E4OD, all stock. Pull a 20' enclosed motorcycle trailer (2k lbs empty, probably carry 1k-2k lbs of bikes, tools etc in it).
looks like this site doesn't like the image host I've been using
here's another host -lets see if it works
Don't have much data other than that. Doesn't seem to use a noticable amount of oil between changes (3k miles). Use shell rotella synthetic 5w-40. Below is what I get for fuel mileage.
Cruise Control set at 70mph (about 2250rpm) --> 13mpg
Cruise Control set at 60mph (about 2000rpm) --> 16.5mpg
Cruise Control set at 55mph (about 1800rpm) --> 21.3mpg
All of the above figures are indicated (as opposed to GPS confirmed etc) and were obtained in very similar moderately hilly conditions on the same day and were tested for more than 100 miles.

1985 F150 4.9 Np435. Uses 1qt of oil between tanks because the rear main is blown. Doesn't smoke. Can hold 65 with 8k in tow up a medium hill.
What? It was built before the P stroke.
But seriously i've been driving it to school and i'm ready to restore it. So if i can get a job this summer i'm getting a 92-94 F350 4X4 7.3 ZF5. And i'll let you know.

92 1/2 F250 Extended Cab XLT 4x4 - 233,000 miles.
ATS Turbo w/wastegate
3" downpipe w/3" straight thru exhaust
E4OD with B&M Shift Improver kit (firms it up nice)
Original injectors, original pump (turned up and advanced)
Digital racepack pyro setup
Change oil every 5000 miles, use Delvac Mobil 1 15-40 ONLY!!
Class 3 Receiver
8 1/2' Western Plow with quick de-tach
265 75 R16 tires at 50 psi
add about a quart every 2500 miles (leaks out the rear main, doesn't burn any)
Soon to get a big intake upgrade (Thanks Dave S. for this idea)
Best mileage ever-16.1 (if I wanted better mileage, I would buy a car)
If this had a manual transmission, it would be the perfect truck-but hey I am not complaining.
