According to Ford, a 2014 cut-away chassis E-450 weighs 225 pounds more that E-350 with the same wheelbase, engine, and DRW. Where does the mythical "several thousand pounds" come from? Assuming they each have the same house built on top of them, the only difference in fuel economy will be because of the small difference in axle ratio.
That's what my research says as well. Not thousands. The Captain should be demoted to to a lower rank. :)
Cute, but before you try and demote me remember there are 3 kinds of people on this earth... those that can do math and those that can't. :B
I am talking two Class C's, each loaded to its GVWR. What part of an E-450 with a GVWR of 14,500# vs an E-350 with a GVWR of 12,500 pounds does not come out to 2,000# {last time I checked that is a ton}. Next, you will be quoting dry weights, oh wait, you just did and everyone knows how useful they are. :S
Come on now folks... my point remains that an E-350 loaded to 12,500# will be working a lot less than an E-450 loaded to 14,500# as they both have the same motor and trans.
