2006 Ford F250 fuel economy (looking for MPG ratings)

It's a 2 door with the extended cab and long bed. It's got the 6.0 powerstroke. There aren't EPA numbers for this vehicle and i've looked all around to see what the city /highway ratings are, like MFR. ratings or something and i can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know the numbers on these?

These trucks are all over the map depending on what one you get and how you drive it. I would say 15 city and 20 highway would be on the high side but they can do even better.

These engines are very particular when it comes to maintenance. I would be very carefull with the quality of fuel you put in it.

I talk to guys about these trucks all the time.

As they are in excess of 8,600 lb GVW, they are exempt from EPA MPG modelling.

Most trucks are 4x4, automatics and get between 14 and 18 MPG if you don't eco-mod like crazy.
