My 2010 Ford F-350 Lariat crew 4x4 long bed dually with the powerstroke is getting 8-9mpg according to the computer. Much of the 1600 miles on it has been with a 9 1/2' v plow on the front which is certainly weighing it down. It does have the Tow Boss package with the 4.30 rear end. I think my mileage will average out in the 12-14mpg range at best if I am lucky.
It will tow or plow anything but certainly was not built for economy. I am frequently towing boats, equipment trailers, etc and wanted something that could move whatever I wanted to. My 05 Dodge 2500 Quad cab hemi 4x4 was decent and better on fuel, but struggled with the equipment trailer and bobcat on the slightest incline.
