Having had both the gas and deisel ( on my 3rd pwr stroke ) engines in
these pigs I can't figure out why anyone would go with a gas motor. Even my
step dads f450 super duty gets about 11 mpg pulling his 37' fifth wheel.
Not just that but the maintenance is far easier and the torque is
incredible. I would say anyone looking at these trucks owes it to
themselves to drive both before making a decision. Deisel is everywhere.

13.5!!! I wish! My '01 V10 can't seem to muster 11. I didn't expect too
much
but I hope it gets just a little better.
