F250 Milage

bigredstang · 11-08-2002, 12:41 PM

I am thinking of buying a 99 F250 but am wondering what everyone is getting for milage with the different engines.

Thanks,
Greg

What motor and are you talking 4x2 or 4x4? Roughly the 5.4 will get around 12-14 mpg, the V10 about 8-11 mpg, and the Stroker about 16-20 mpg. Friend of mine has a 02 F350 SD Crew Cab long bed 4x4 stroker with the automatic. Took a trip to Louisiana and got 18 mpg. My V10 4x4 Ext Cab F250 Short bed gets 11 mpg going down hill with the wind pushing and that's on a good day

unloaded. Hook on the 24 ft gooseneck with a load and you're looking at around 8 mpg on the highway!

Thanks,
I managed to buy a 99 F250 7.3 4x4 crew cab. I took the truck out for a 400 mile run last night and am guessing 15 mpg, but that s just off the guage so far. I am hoping for better when I fill it up.

Good choice on your truck. You'll like it. Chip and filter that sucker immediately!! There's quite a few strokers out there now in the 13s. Check out the stroker section on www.ford-trucks.com/ and also check out www.bankspower.com/ and www.ford-diesel.com/
