Thats not terrible. My Titan averages 14-16 mpg when I'm not towing. I can't imagine the f250 getting much worse then that.

my neighbor has a 2003(?) f250 with the 5.6 liter V8. he gets about 10 mpg all city...he never drives it. it has 255k on it, all original. no major breaks. used to be a hauling truck for his work(sunbelt rentals). got ran into a pole too...works perfect still.

I went from a 27x9 tire to a 33x12.5. Even if diameter doesn't matter, the contact surface is larger and creates more drag. Shut up and learn your place, *****.

And working the next three days means waking up at 5:30 the next three mornings. I won't be doing anything til at least Monday night.

It's good to hear the gas motors hold up. I knew 7.3 diesel trucks were awesome trucks. My old boss sold his with almost 300k and no major issues. The only major thing that truck needed was a trans after plowing in the blizzards.
