I'm surprised it was that good. I get 8 MPG from my F250 when towing a travel trailer that doesn't have the brakes engaged.

- iancmceachern 5y agoI too exist where the vent diagrams of HN reader and F250/travel trailer owners intersect.
- canadianfella 5y agoVent?
- iancmceachern 5y agoWhy the down votes?
- kbelder 5y agoStrangely, the intersection of HN and F250 owners is a smaller set than the intersection of HN and F250 haters.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoYour travel trailer makes up for it by punching a very big hole in the air.
- rootusrootus 5y agoYeah, I liken it to what it would be like towing an open parachute behind you. I'm disappointed at the terrible efficiency we're getting from this rig, to be honest. Based on experience I was expecting more like 10mpg. It doesn't make a big difference in cost, but Ford only gave the 6.2L F250 a 30 gallon tank. For something that gets such abysmal gas mileage, that is a really questionable decision. Our last truck, an F150, had a bigger tank even with a shorter bed. I have no idea what Ford was thinking here.
