Lost the old rig time to rebuild
We are moving from a Ram 5500 to a F350. Insurance was too high on the "commercial truck" Considering a Gas over Diesel. More payload would be nice and the savings of a Gas vehicle over diesel is no...

14 mpg pulling 14k 13’ tall brick and 20mpg with a 4klb 12’ tall brick?
cmon man….Ford should buy that one back from you so they can see what they did to make it get better mpgs than any truck in history!
um 3K, 10.5 foot tall brick, get it right . sorry just looked up the camper milage and that one was for a canadain gallon of gas, not your small US gallon 😁so the actual milage was 14.1L/100km which works out to 20 miles per gal Cdn, or 16.7 miles per gal US. but the 5th wheel is bang on, 14mpg US, 16.8 mpg Cdn or 16.8 L/100km. thoes were from this summers trips. part of it is, normaly when I am towing the 5th wheel I am doing 55mph and running the 45hp towing tune. when I am hauling the camper I do 60mph sometimes but normaly 55mph plus I run the 100hp tune when hauling that. I don't know if you have ever hopped up your diesels, but if you did you would know the more you hop them up the better milage they get if you drive it the same.
I’ve tuned a few. Depends on the truck, the year, other mods and the tune.
But you’re getting record setting mileage out of an early 6.7 Scorpion especially with emissions in tact.
55mph does help. But gdamm I’d fall asleeep or go crazy driving that slooooow.
