ken westrope

Ihave a report for all the c-brats..In march we bought a ford f-150 with the new 3.0 diesel. So after a couple thousand miles driving and a few hundred towing here is what we know. Mpg highway is 25.5 (4wd in 2h and eco mode). towing a 6500.00 lb trailer gets 14 mpg.back and forth 22 mpg. We bought one with a lot of towing bells and whistles and 3.55 axle.rated at 11600.00 with equalizer hitch and 17200.00 all inclusive load. What I see and feel I wont hesitate to tow my cd-25. Transmission is a 10 speed with 5 modes normal,tow haul, snow,eco,and sport. So far we are happy. let the comments begin

f350 with v10 1999=8.7 mpg empty, 8.2 mpg towing the 27ft Dory. it just does not matter if I take the boat or not so I just take the boat everywhere. drive thru at wendys is a bitch but I get to eat lunch on the back deck;)
