Put a 18,000# trailer behind that gas engine, and see how you do! LOL
Diesel will get in the 8-10 mpg range, gas will get 5-6 mpg. And pull its guts out doing it, while the diesel loafs along.
Don't even think about hitting a big hill with the gasser at 28,000# gross! LOL.
Might have to have the wife get out, walk along behind, warning the cars about a slow trailer ahead!
Funny...Ford installs gas engines in trucks rated for
29,000lb GVWR. They install the same engines in F53 chassis rated for 30,000lbs GCWR. For an 18,000lb trailer...I'll take an F-550 with the 30-valve V10. Not a problem! Diesel has jumped the shark.
