Heres one of many from fordf150.net
Ecoboost really does respond to your driving style. When i reset and drive easily at speed limit i can maintain 14-16 in the city and 20.2 hwy @ 65 cruise control on. But when it comes to going to work in the morning teens no more, i see 10.9 mpg a lot. Yes the mileage sux but darn the fading headlights in the rear view makes it worth it! I have hand calculated numerous times and and stopped doing it because my 1/2 truth-o-meter is usually within a tenth n no more than two-tenths off with poor driving habits, aka heavy pedal.

Ive spent considerable time drive and towing with one myself
and done vast reading at the f150forums.

You get all kinds of ranges fron all kinds of guys.

I posted the mileage I observed.

I dont doubt your 75 1 ton4x4 will get 9 towing.
It will probably get 9 in town too.

What does that have to do with the posters search for a new half ton truck?

Which new half ton would you pick and why?

This is how our group records mileage.

I record every tank. By hand.

Here's an older log from my nissan titan.

A little old school I know.


UD

It will do about 12 in town LOL

It has nothing to do with it, Just a comparison

I would buy the new 6.2 GM gas if I was forced to buy a gas pickup

My 2003 duramax does 21 mpg empty I drive it 80 miles round trip daily to work, better milage than my mustang gt with a 4.6, My duramax just hit 164k Its been tuned to 440hp and 920tq RWHP for the last 60k, with no problems. so I see no reason to buy a gas pickup..

I want a ride.

That's what I need!!:evilb:

If you don't drive a lot a gasser gets the job done much more economically. It takes a lot of miles to pay for the $8k increase in cost for diesel.

Totally agree

IF you can live within a half tons capacity they are pretty affordable and fun to drive- snorting around like little muscle cars.

The other thing is the convenience factor - my

2 Boats
2 Quads
1 Dirtbike
2 Gennies
Toy hauler fuel station

& the truck all use gasoline.

Sourcing multiple fuel types and having multiple fuel containers Yellows reds scattered about in a pickup bed is annoying.

Gas is easy and everywhere.

My RV introduces propane- grrr.

(sort off sour grapes though Id still love a new 80K diesel truck)

The towing capacity on my 09 Ram with the 3.92 RE is 9100lBS.

What rear end does the 11 Ram you are looking at have. If it is the 3.92 then it should be over 10K pounds.

I just checked Sydwayz's chart and a 2007 2wd 2500 with 3.73 is rated at from 13,000-13250lbs. A 3.92 would +/- 14000lbs. Personally I find that excessive. Not that the motor and trans can't tow it, but the frame and brakes would not be up to those weights on a frequent basis. I really wouldn't go over 11,000lbs on a 3/4 ton truck a lot if I didn't have to...

[Oh do you mean gas or diesel?]
