In the mountains I saw as low as 9.2mpg with the Cummins and 6.7 with the 5.4L. I always try to fuel at 1/4 tank only took walking to a gas station years ago to teach me that lesson. Silverado ran out while showing 1/8 tank375Views0likes0CommentsRe: First long pull

Like to know my fuel mileage as it helps to figure that $ into the budget408Views0likes0CommentsFirst long pull
Pulled yesterday ( 400miles) with my new to me 99 f250 sd. Pleased with the power but a bit disappointed with the fuel mileage (9.5 mpg ) when we stopped at 300 miles. Do I have an unrealistic expectation of 12 or better. I used to get 8mpg when I towed with a 07 Chrysler aspen hemi. 99f250sd long bed 7.3 king cab. 2017 heartland pioneer bh300 dry weight 7000.

When it happened to us we used the Clorox clean up too then wiped it all down after with a 50 50 mix of vinegar and water. Threw away the pillows and pillowcases washed every thing else twice ( sprayed the vinegar on the fabric couch ) after that kept a big tub of dessicant inside and haven't had issue again.549Views0likes0CommentsRe: Weight rating on a 235/80/16 tire
The Goodyear marathon e load is rated at 3420 pounds max different tires sometimes have different max load ratings, You would be better served to actually weigh your unit loaded as a start point. But in my opinion a g rating would be in your best interest155Views0likes0Comments
