towing mileage of trucks
Does anyone have a range of MPG for a F-450 dragging a 18,000- 21,000 5er? is it much different from Ram 3500?

I also stand by my statement that a 17/18 F350 will pull any DRV out there just fine like my 15 RAM will within axle and combined ratings. So why spend the extra $$$ on a 450??? OH yea for the tighter turning radius?
I’m sorry Sir, but your statement is simply false.
I have an F350 and an F550, under similar loads at 50 mph, 80 kmh, my F550 gets better mileage. Both of them (combined weight) outweigh my Class A motorhome and get better mileage than it does.
More weight does NOT equal LESS mpg.
More EFFICIENCY equals less mpg.
Lol, well more efficiency should equal MORE mpg, but maybe it’s opposite in metric.
Also make sure you’re talking apples to apples about your mileage claims, they’re suspect. But at 50mph they should both be getting decent mileage for what they are.
Who drives 50mph?
