Find myself disappointed that the F150 Ecoboost only gets 10 mpg towing, was really hoping to make a dent in my gas bill with my next truck. I love my F150, but at 7mpg towing and not towing anymore because of the gas bill, I really want to find something that can tow the boat and trailer without breaking my bank.
Heard a car guy on the radio say that dodge has a 6 cyl diesel that gets 30 mpg. Is this even possible?
Yes it is possible. It's a 3 liter VM Motori diesel. It puts out about 410lb-ft of torque and under 300HP from what I remember. The good news is that it COSTS a lot as an option. You would be better served buying he 5.7L HEMI V8 and save your self 1000s of bucks all while getting more HP and torque.
FWIW
