2012 F450 4.30 gears about 14 mpg empty at 70-72 mph, I tow 23,000 goose neck dual tire tandem and mileage is below 8 mpg, I don't even watch when towing just watch fuel gauge as to when I need to refuel. No chips, mods, bone stock.

2013 Chev 3500 Duelly, Diesel. Empty, 16.8-17.2 (dash) driving in the 73 mph range. Loaded, makes a difference on size and type of boat, but generally I am in the 9.8-10.3 range. Most of the boats I have hauled with it are Top Guns and Outerlimits. The OL's generally get better mileage, take it for what it is worth, but the last few I have hauled I got 11.2. Now, Center Councils..... Pull like a anchor... 8.1.

I had a 09 Chev 3500 Duelly before this one, was consistently about 2 mpg less in every category.

1997 K3500 454 4x4. 4.10's, stock with a tune. Empty hwy around 12. City/hwy, 9-10. Towing 38 Fountain, 7-8.

I had a 99 crew cab chevy with same setup....had a hypertech tune in mine and all it could do was 10/11 city/hwy and 7-8 towing a 30' scarab......then i installed a 6" lift with 35's and had to drive with a tanker hooked to the truck to keep up with the gas demand!!

I will say this though....from reading the forums about these trucks/motors (454 vortec)......best thing you can do to them is a custom tune by someone who knows what they are doing...like Nelson or Westers etc.....and also they need bigger injectors then what they have stock

Cash, delete all the emissions crap & get some good custom tunes. Makes the 6.4 a completely different truck.
