are 1989 7.3L N\A, 1ton, 4door, 4wd, 4.11s
with the pile of poo E4OD auto trans.

pulled 21.9 mpg once years ago, in yellow-stone park at 45mph.
17/19 at 55 with stop lights is more common.

its right about 8,500lbs full of fuel (65 gal) and two people.


in comparison i must say 28+mpg is quite impressive for a F250
the closest ive ever heard of to that number was a 2wd L\B extra cab with the 3.55 and a O\D 4sp. pulling 24 or so at around 55/60

he ordered it from the factory to get that combo, he wanted a 1ton with out dully rear tires and ordering it was the only way to get a ford 1ton with out being a dully in the 6.9L years.
do to this, the truck says F250 on the side but its springs, axils, trans ECT are all 1ton spec
