Default Re: Tow Vehicle Preferences for more than 5K lbs
I have a F350 4x4 so it will get a little less then the 3/4 ton 2wd. 18-20 mpg are good day/optimistic numbers for the 7.3 but they are the norm/bad day numbers for the Cummings. I'm on my 3rd Ford and 3rd Dodge diesel right now. The dodges have always sipped fuel when compared to the Fords....both are great rigs.

I have a super chip in my F350 and it improved mileage maybe by 1-2 mpg but the truck shifts a lot better now and has more power. I would hate to put a super chip in my 06 Dodge mega cab as that truck is a rocket already.
