3-4" lower won't do diddle for mpg's IMO. Look around at all the TT's being pulled on the road. Almost everyone is a different height. Then read about towing and mpg's. It's always the same range for gassers. Your 250-6.2 isn't shy about going to a gas station.
Granted the F250 doesn't have any issues not passing a service station. As far as mileage goes, neither was the F150 5.4. But, a 12 foot 6 inch sale is harder to move through the wind than an 11 foot six version of the same sale. We could go into formulas for drag coefficient and come up with some nice numbers too. All of this should have been done at the factory. But, the factory chose to use whatever was on hand and stick the unit way up in the wild blue yonder.
By the way, I wonder why the people pulling fivers will put wind deflectors on their tow vehicles? Might it be for the same reason I want to lower this one? Thanks for your comment though.
