3.55 geared dually, what MPG are you getting??
Just wondering how your fuel mileage is just daily driving unloaded?
Still considering 4.10 or 3.55. My '11 dually gets 12-13 mpg in town. Hope the '18's are doing better than mine.
I know a F350 dually is not a Prius, just curious about fuel burn.

Mine came with the 4.10's which actually help in city and in town driving. I'm in 6th at 38 mph roughly so I'm getting 14-15 in town and 16-17 on the hwy provided I keep speeds in the 65 to 70 mph range. 3.55's should do better on the hwy keeping the cruising rpm's in the 1700 to 1800 range. Best is when I nudged right over the 19 mpg mark but speeds were in the 50-55 mph range on some of out narrow 2 lane hwys. Land here is flat as a pancake so I'm not pulling up hills or mountains...just tall bridges over the Mississippi River!!

Had mine about 2 months now. Mostly short distances and it is 4.10 rear. Getting 14.5-15 mpg. On long drives about 17 mpg. On a previous truck, a 2009 best it ever got was barely 13. That was found downhill, wind at my back, etc. This truck is much better. I figure the 2020 - 2024 trucks will finally have diesel and pollution control finally figured out

I have a 17 F-350 CC DRW with the 3.55. Little History, I had a 11 srw and got 15-17mpg. I bought a 15 and it went to 14-15mpg (they said it was worse but i didn't believe them). Then i went to a 17 SRW and was getting 15-16mpg. I towed my 15k lb 5er to Florida and back and got 9 mpg averaging 70mph (slow down to 65 and it will jump). I had some sway with 15mph winds but the thing rocked the grades thru Tennessee. I would hit 2-3% grades and didn't even down shift most of the time, then 4-6% and it would usually go to 4th and climb it and not think twice. I decided since it did so awesome that the DRW didn't need the 4.10 since it was my daily. It took some searching because everyone must want eh 4.10. They had 1 platinum in White platinum in a 1000 miles radius. I am getting 14.5-15.5mpg. This a fair range of around town to interstate some. I don't drive like a gma, but also not like i stole it. Cant wait to get my 5er on it.

What speeds you running on interstate to get that mileage? Around here and down South where I go, 75-80 or you'll get run over.

Had 4.10s in the 2006 and went with 3.55s when I ordered the '17. I get 14 - 16 mpg usually. That is hand calculated, not the BS the computer tells you. I don't drive on the highway that often, back roads and 45 - 55 mph two lane roads. I drive near the speed limit, no sense wasting fuel or chance of getting a ticket to save 2 minutes. If people want to go faster, pass me, I'm bigger than them anyway.
