My wife hauls horses around the country and we recently installed a 110 gallon fuel tank in the bed of her 2013 F-350 for a total fuel capacity of nearly 150 gallons. She can make it nearly halfway across the country before refueling towing a 15k lb trailer. Not only that but you can fill up in states where fuel is cheaper and have 1,500 miles or so of range to get through the expensive states without buying fuel.

Have a 2020 F-350 King Ranch dually, really like the truck! I've tried the Eco mode a few times and really haven't noticed much difference in fuel mileage. It really cuts back on the power though, really noticeable. In 56,000 miles of driving we've gotten over 20mpg three times (figured manually), must have had a tail wind and it was really nice! We've gotten in the 6's a few times pulling the camper on windy days (should have stopped and camped). We have a 50-gal auxiliary fuel tank in back for a total of 98 gallons, makes traveling real nice.

Had a 1999 24-valve Dodge, 3.54 rear gear, auto, 2WD, 235/85 on the stock rims all around (speedo corrected). Only mods were my favorite Group IV in the crank, same brand in the trans and pumpkin, oversized canister air filter with heat shield and a Banks hard elbow. My diesel mechanic buddy recommended running between 1600 and 1900 rpm (72 mph) for best efficiency. Maybe 400 lbs of gear in the bed, extended cab full of family, usually averaged 23-24 mpg highway (hand calculated) here in the inter-mountain west. Was a great, if a little loud, truck.

Thanks Andre and Camera Ninja Kase ... Happy 4th of July Everybody..... Have a good day✌️

I drive F350 dually, diesel with the 3:55 rear axle. I live in New Mexico and my mileage when driving a mixture of interstate and secondary roads is 17.1 to 17.4. All of the driving is at 3500 - 9500 feet above sea level and includes driving in the mountains.

17 6.7 powerstroke (mods) done and yes it’s strong performance but mileage wasn’t to bad before mods where done they have done a good job with getting things to work right on the new trucks..

You imagine breathing through a thin straw the rest of your life!!!!

That 500hp f450 single cab is very enticing

I always get 2 to 3 mpg less on the vegas to Denver trip than I do on any trip to Denver especially from the East so that’s not a very good comparison.

Not broken in, took 85000 to fully break in my 7.3

Cool video Just got a F350 6.7 srw Wondering at what mileage it’s considered broke in ?

My 1997 F350, 7.3, 4:11 gears gets about the same....Of course it's 1/2 the hp!

Not to mention the weight difference. Today’s heavy duty pickups are so much heavier than they were 20-25 years ago. Heck, I had a 2009 GMC 2500HD ext-cab and 8 foot box with the Duramax and 4wd, it weighed 6900 lbs. That same configuration today with just the gas engine weighs more….a lot more.

Ford rocks!!

Iowa 80. Kinda made me wish I could try out their Hungryman breakfast. At least now I can since the borders are opened.

My 2023 ram 3500 single wheel has a 52 gal. Tank. Factory plus my 3 5500 do also 🧐

You conveniently forgot that Ram offers a 50 gallon tank in the long box 3500.

Can you guys do this same test with the duramax dually? I make a 700 mile drive twice a year and am curious if it is in the same mpg range as the dodge and ford.

My big question with the limited on long hauls, how are the seats? More comfortable?

4400 miles is broken in on a diesel??? My Cummins said 15000 miles for break in unless you towed with it and they recommend to tow right away.

what transmission mode did you run it in? i can get over 20 mpg in my F350 4x4 dually when in Eco mode

Imagine extra fuel tanks. Probably a good cannonball truck.

My Ram 3500 LWB has a 50 gallon tank from the factory. it is an option in the LWB

True, but ev's are a FRACTION of the cost to refuel (recharge)

I would like you get a 10K LBS trailer for each of the Big 4 top of the line 3500 Diesel Trunks.

Did the truck have a cover over the bed? Would this have aided in further fuel economy? Have you done testing with and without a bed cover for a MPG comparison? How much more efficient is the 6.7 H. O. vs the regular 6.7? Just curious and GREATLY APPRECIATE your content. Please keep it coming.

30 seconds top-off delay needs to be more like 120 sec (2 min) for diesel too deal with the large, light froth that backs up the filler pipe with Diesel fuel.
