The window stickers don't list the fuel mileage. I'm considering a brand new 2017 to 2018 "Work Truck" Ford F-250 Super Duty with the V10 engine and auto trans. ( The work truck series costs a LOT less than the regular line. I can get one out the door from $37,377 and up. Retiring soon, won't make payments, paying cash, won't break my bank account. I won't spend $60-70 Grand for a truck when I'll only tow the trailer 2 or 3 hours a day.)I'm guessing it will probably deliver 9-10 MPG, and I'm guessing it won't make much difference between towing roughly 7,500 lbs. of no load at all. I have the monthly budget to afford all the gas I want but just wanted to know MPG. Thanks

V-10 isn't an option in the F250/350 line. Only the 6.2L V-8 & 6.7L diesel.

Those unfortunately bring a tank average back to above 16.5 - 17 range.With the V10, I suspect you will be lower in the normal highway cruising, but you will not suffer the 10 MPG regens either.

Window stickers stating fuel mileage aren't required on real trucks, only the "1/2" ton models.Diesel will do about 20 to 30 percent better than gasoline, so you make the decision that fits your situation. You will hear all kinds of accurate and wildly stated mileage figures, so you can't base a decision on that.

Hi... I would suggest a diesel over a gas engine for towing .... much better power ... lower fuel cost. Jim2007.

Oh wow, I meant V8 that's what I get for staying up after midnight and posting. I was referring to the 6.2 gas engine. Diesel would be nice, as well as a loaded out $65-70K truck, but I won't go in debt and make payments, I'd rather pay cash and be financially free. Thank you all for responding.
