Just got a 2006, Ford 350 psd, cc, duelly with the 3.73 axel.
getting 12.4 mpg towing almost 11,000 lbs. my chevy 2500HD, 6.0 gasser was a great truck but struggled up hills and was not stable on steep down grades in the Blue Ridge mountains. The computer says I'm getting 19 mpg solo but I don't go above 65 on the Interstate. the gasser got between 9-10 mpg towing and 16 on the interstate solo ( going about 63 mph). diesel fuel is 23 cents a gallon above regular gas in Florida at this time. I'm using my scooter around town to keep cost down. I don't know if I made a mistake getting the diesel. Only time will tell. It's a great truck for towing and I hope to use it a lot. Just wish fuel will come down from $3.26 a gallon for diesel.
Remember when gas stations gave you glasses, dishes, anything to buy there? Boy, has time changed.
