F250

What is the gas mileage for V8 vs. V10 for F250 Superduty. Is it worth getting a 10 for little towing and plowing? Please help. Thank you.

More info needed:

What year SD engines you talking about?

What configuration SD are you talking about? (ie: CC, SC, SWB, LWB, tire size, etc.)

What axle gear ratio?

What kind of towing? Weight?

Not much to go with here, but...the SD is probably a '99-'04 V10 2v. So...Down in V10 land we have two polls.

The Official TOWING MPG poll
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...-mpg-poll.html

The Official HIGHWAY MPG poll
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/4...-mpg-poll.html

Take a look...

Hope this helps!
