Gas VS Diesel F250
I am looking at new F250, I have f wheel about 8000lbs. I would like to know gas mileage while towing and not towing, also on diesel. How would gas handle the load? Thanks

I much prefer towing with a turbo charged engine. The 8000 (loaded or dry?) pound fiver you mentioned can be towed by an F150 Ecoboost with Max Tow and HD Payload.
I've been doing it for 3 years with a 9500 lb fiver. Now that I am ready for a new truck, it will be an F350 Powerstroke Diesel as the 6.2 gasser would be at high RPMs going uphill vs much lower RPMs for the Ecoboost or a diesel. I am going Super Duty because I am adding batteries and solar to the fiver which adds more weight than I am comfortable with for the F150. And any fiver I get in the future will be heavier than the one I have now with stronger construction and more insulation and features.
Please share your experience with the sidewinder and which hitch you are using...as well as the length of your box...in inches, Thank you
