no truck is good for mileage unless its a diesel (p-stroke or dirty preferably) with a tuner, so w/e u end up buying will have shitty mileage. get used to it

well the main reason i ask was not to save much on milage . i know this truck get like 8 all the time where the smaller trucks f-250, f-250 gets like 16 empty and 10 or less pulling and its alot harder on the 150's.
i was looking at the same kind of big trucks to see if the engine milage, reliability would even be an increase at all . I know they claim alot higher milage than i can get anyways
