Its a question I would expect there to be more information on: What is the efficiency difference between a one ton and half ton truck? Myself, along with many others I am sure, are considering whether they make do pushing the max weight rating of say an F-150, or to take the loss of efficiency and go with a F-250 or F-350. The EPA doesn't require Ford to publish MPG ratings for their Superduty trucks- and I have scoured the web looking for an answer. I am leaning toward an F-350 for our next expedition vehicle due to the strength and articulation of a straight axle in the front, and that I would be pushing the payload of a half ton. However, if say the one ton got 13 MPG vs the half ton getting 20 mpg, it would definitely affect my decision. To keep it apples to apples I think an appropriate comparison would be the 5.0 Coyote gas V8 F-150 vs 6.2 Boss gas V8 F-350. To my knowledge there is absolutely no even remotely scientific comparison between these two vehicles as far as I have found. Or for any other manufacturer's half ton vs one ton trucks. Does anyone know of any data available?
(Btw I already have a car and trailers, I need a truck)
