Ford/Chevy mileage

So I like the mileage our 2012 D/A gets with and without towing. We are looking at the Ford F350 with 3.55 rear end and wondering if the mileage is comparable or not.

  • If you are looking for mileage any RAM/Cummins/Aisin/3.42 combo will give the best mileage.

    I'm not thrilled with the mpg of mine either.....65 mph 15.4 miles per US gallon. People I know with the 3.31 gears get conciderbly better. I don't know about the new Duramax but the 2015 Duramax does better than the Powerstroke with 3.55 gears.
  • I don't live too far from you and w/ truck in sig, this is what I get for mpg's:

    Hiway:
    55-60 mph= upper teens
    65-70 mph = 13-15mpg

    City:
    12-15 mpg

    Towing:
    9.0-10.5mpg

    Overall, truck may not be a mpg champ, but does pull like a freight train. Has 3.55 gears.
  • What engine in the Ford? The 6.7 Ford will be a wash. The 6.4 is the worst of the worst of all diesels.
