Diesel, Dodge or Ford, MPG?

[HeresJoe]

Hey in a big debate on wether or not to buy a XLT Ford Manual Transmission or the 2500 Ram Manual Power locks windows etc. Why don't they post the mpg on diesels? What have you guys been getting for it on your trucks? Is insurance more expensive on them? Any info will help. THANKS!

had 96 with cummins manual trany since new. average city is 16 to 25 mpg highway can
get 19 to 25 with full load or trailler. have gotten 31mpg on highway cruising at about
95 km/hr with a minor tail wind. sounds to good to be true but have registerd every fillup
since new have records to prove.

they dont post MPG cuz you can get the pickup geared like u want.

I'd rather be cummin than strokin

The cummings and the dodge is the best.
I know I averaged around 25MPG in a D350 dually, and You still can't beat that.

I don't know what a Ford "powerstroke" gets in MPG. I hate Fords. Never had one that made me feel good, ever.

Buy a Dodge: leave the stroking to ford owners.
