My previous truck
2008 F350 4x4 supercab 6.4 diesel with 3.73 rear.
MPG with TC best 12.5 but usually 11mpg
without TC 14mpg
This was with a light foot.
In contrast my 6.2 2011 gasser with a 4.3 rear 4x4 crew gets with the TC a best of 11.5 and averages 10.5 . Without the TC 14-15 mpg with the same drivinghabits.
More power with the diesel but it was overkill. The 6.2 gasser especially with a 4.3 rear is more than adequate for the job.Less upfront cost and less operating costs with the gasser, a no brainer for me.
