I'd like to know real world mileage numbers on a diesel 4x4 one ton

I've had three fords in a row, after my '72 chevy PU rusted out in about

days. Any die hard ford guys made a change and are real happy?

IIRC it will depend a good deal on the ratio at the rear end, or the
overall available ratios, if you prefer. I was toying with an F450 at
one point, and was advised in a diesel support forum that I'd be very
unlikely to find an F450 that was not set up to be a fuel hog.

Depending on how much quality you require in a truck, and if you can wait a
couple of years, Toyota is working on a HD diesel truck.

Toyota has yet to understand what a truck is. This is shown by the
main complaint of the 07 Tundra (besides the recall)
