Hi. Here is a comparison. Not a Gm. Vs Ford thing.
we bought a new to us rig in pigeon forge
Tenn a few years back while on vacation.
At that time we owned a 2002 gmc 2500 hd
6Liter 4*4. 410 rear end. 4door shortbox with low miles
carrying a lance 820. 8'6" camper with no slide. We
Bought a 2004 ford f350 duely. V10. 373 rear end.4*4
4 door long box with a lance 1161 11"6" camper
with slide. The ford weighted in at almost
1000lbs more than the gm.
So we brought back to ontario both camper
traveling the same roads at the same time.
The old rig was completely empty. The new rig
was fully loaded from our return from a 3 week
trip to florida. We had to stop for many fuel
refills for the gm because of the smaller gas tank, so
I filled the ford at the same time. On every fill up the
ford was within 1/2 gallon of the gm. So yes
they like the gas but in my opinion with the weight
size increase I have done well.
