Hi, there again,
What if any gas milage difference between 2016 f150supercrew fx 4x4 Lariate 5.0L vs 2003 f250supercrew fx4 xlt 7.3L
I drive on dirt roads daily and winding mountain roads.

Since you already own it (per your other post), why are you asking? You'll shortly figure it out, no?

dont "dive" too deep, you might hit the bottom of the hill faster than you think!

i'll take a wild guess, your mpg on the 5.no will be around 16-17 combined. why? wind, hills, twist & turns... depends how you drive though, if you race up the hills, might be less. if you race down and let the truck "lose" speed going up, maybe more... if you race uphill with a headwind, bad... if you race down with a tail wind, sehr gut... see where this is going?

Yes I see no I don't race anymore slow and steady she goes now. I loved my f250 but it was beginning to have some issues after 261,000 miles and we have enough f250 just new to the f150 model
