Why is the MPG of the HDPP(7850#) with the 5.0 and 3.73s 14/19 yet a a similarly optioned 7050# f150 with 3.73s is rated at 15/21? That is a significant difference, why?

Heavier vehicle with more rolling resistance.

What makes it heavier? Do the tires create the extra rolling resistance?

Thamks!

For the previous generation, the HDPP included 2,400 lb capable wheels (heavier) and Load range E tires (heavier). My tire and wheel combination weighs 100 lb each.

Even with the thicker frame it probably only adds about 100 to 200 pounds more weight, I cant see that making much of a difference.
