F250/350 5.4l Fuel Economy
Hi All,
I'm looking at purchasing an 01-04 F250 or F350 5.4l after my lease is up in November but am wondering about the fuel economy. Does anyone have any real life numbers of what their getting with the 5.4l? Also how does the 5.4l do for towing? I'm trying to weigh out if i should pay less for the gas and get worse mileage, or pay more for the diesel (7.3l only) and get better economy and towing.
