towing mileage of trucks
Does anyone have a range of MPG for a F-450 dragging a 18,000- 21,000 5er? is it much different from Ram 3500?

I stand by my statement, more weight equals less fuel economy.
I also stand by my statement that a 17/18 F350 will pull any DRV out there just fine like my 15 RAM will within axle and combined ratings. So why spend the extra $$$ on a 450??? OH yea for the tighter turning radius?
I’m sorry Sir, but your statement is simply false.
I have an F350 and an F550, under similar loads at 50 mph, 80 kmh, my F550 gets better mileage. Both of them (combined weight) outweigh my Class A motorhome and get better mileage than it does.
More weight does NOT equal LESS mpg.
More EFFICIENCY equals less mpg.
