Power to Spare- Fuel Mileage down the drain

by Teamcrestliner from Random Lake, Wisconsin on Thu Jul 13 2017

This is my 3rd Ford Diesel- Power and torque keep increasing however fuel mileage keeps dropping. This 6.7L model that requires DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) kills my mpg's. When the system goes into it's cleaning mode (which a message indicates) my fuel mileage drops to between 8-10 mpg's for approximately 15-20 minutes. Imagine that.

Ford F-250 6.7

by Brenross4 from on Sun Apr 23 2017

Very powerful with the 6.7 diesel while being quiet and comfortable ride. Will tow anything you put behind it. Love all the space of the crew cab.

Awesome power

by bob from Prescott, az on Sun Mar 18 2018

Bought a used 2016 6.7 F-250 xlt with 26K miles. Had the 2001 7.3 diesel. The power in this 6 speed automatic is unreal. Towing the 9000 lb trailer up 6% grade in 4th or 5th gear, and engine is hardly working. Integrated brakes, and exhaust brake along with tow mode and rarely used the brakes down hill of the same grade. Replaced the 26 gal fuel with a 50 gal. Very quiet compared to the old diesels and quieter than the new Rams. MPG sole overall is 15-17. Towing is 10-12. You have to keep your foot out of it or the MPG drops like a rock.

Why do people rate this "mule" for gas mileage??

by Bones from MENOMINEE on Mon Jun 18 2018

I bought the 6.2 with 4.30 gears to pull my fifth wheel RV trailer, not for gas mileage. If I wanted gas mileage, I would by a Prius. I have a 2016 Crew cab that I just love. It does everything I expected it to do. We live in the UP of Michigan and have pilled a 12,000LB fifth wheel to California and back with no problems. I bought it to pull, not to get MPG. If you want MPG, don't buy a big truck and RV. Just common sense.

It runs great and is beautiful

by Barb from Lakeland, Florida on Mon Mar 19 2018

I love everything about it. It is fully loaded and a very comfortable ride. I purchased the F-250 Platinum and it has everything and more for a very enjoyable ride. The towing capacity is amazing and smooth. Beautiful truck from bumper to bumper.

Another Ford TRUCK

by Jack from Irvine pa. on Mon Dec 12 2016

I have been driving ford trucks for five decades BUT whats up with a 24 gal fuel tank on a heavy duty truck with tow package and ability to pull a 23'000 lb trailer......Don't they think we are going to tow anything. Better Idea people ---how far do you think I will get between fuel stations hauling my 15000 trailer behind my almost 10'000 lb truck????

F250 does its job, but some aspects disappoint

by grampa maverick from NE Wisconsin on Wed Apr 12 2017

The power and towing are really impressive. I moved up from a F150 to gain more chassis for towing. Disappointed, the fuel economy is shockingly poor, not a fluke, I have had 2 2016s, one F250XL standard cab, one F350XLT crew cab, both with gas 6.2L V8. The back and forth to work type driving is 11 MPG. If I'm on ther highway empty I can break 13.5 MPG. I havent checked mileage when I am towing because I would expect it to be not so good. Over 12,000 miles on each of them now, never been back to the dealer. I like both these trucks and would buy another. The crew cab rides considerably better with the longer wheelbase.

Disappointed with the towing performance

by George D from Limerick, Me 04048 on Sat Jul 22 2017

I bought this 250 used with 21000 miles. I took it to Canada for our first camping trip and was very disappointed with the transmission constant shifting and the fuel consumption , 9 MPG. Don,t know if the engine needs to be tuned.
