I am looking at new F250, I have f wheel about 8000lbs. I would like to know gas mileage while towing and not towing, also on diesel. How would gas handle the load? Thanks
I have looked into this issue a lot. Here is the bottom line: If you have the coin, buy diesel. Most likely you will be happier. I would focus more on whether you can afford it comfortably in absolute terms. It is true under some circumstances gas is cheaper. But in some ways that is the wrong question. The right question is in which will you be happier. A Toyota Matrix gets me from A to B, but I'd rather drive a BMW.
