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
Thanks

Living in Oregon with an abundance of mtns and hills diesel is the best way to go. I tow 9000lbs with a 12 CTD and would never want to tow that with a gasser. I towed 7300lbs of TT here with a 5.4 gasser and that was enough. The 6.2 and Ram 6.4 are way better than the 5.4 for sure, but any gasser is going to be shifting a lot compared to a diesel. IMO it's how often you tow as to how tolerant you would be. All that shifting is what eats into the mpg.

You might get a little more info on the 6.2L forum on the FTE site. Here. An F350 6.2 with the 4.30 gears will probably be my next truck, if and when the ol'e 7.3 dies. LOL
