Fireball 440 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Yeah it has the plow frame was welded together over 20 years ago. The pump worked but leaks out of everywhere so I took it off and use a $50 Harbor Freight ATV winch to operate the plow. It's like 40 lbs lighter on the front with the winch set up.

awful knawful Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 29.1l/100 average for 400kms? 3.5 ecoboost? Must have been pulling that 13000lbs max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2011 3.5L ecoboost since new has an overall average of 15.9L / 100km. Some of that has been stop and go city commuting to and from work, stop and go on the weekend cottage commute, some highway, some pulling trailers. The trailers include the two horse trailer, 9500 lb RV, 5000 lb boat and hybrid sled trailer with the two 4 stroke sleds. The newer ones get much better than my old one apparently.

snopro31 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 3500lb boat. i have the same truck minus the engine but 120000km more on the truck. towing same weight (boat) same location 15.9-16.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he needs to go back to the dealer and find out what's wrong with it. I get FAR better than that towing my 5000 lb boat. It's simply impossible to be climbing up a steep hill all the time for 400 km Edited October 29, 2017 by 02sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it what you will but it's real numbers. I have kept a spreadsheet since the day it was new. I had to for claiming business mileage. Total km and total litres since new gives real fuel consumption. At the same time the lead foot who has to race away from the stop light only to have everyone catch up while he's sitting at the next light will also get worse.

I'm trying to figure out how all the diesels get better mileage then me while pulling a bigger, heavier trailer faster. Not just one or two mpg better either... Stock 06 Dodge 2500.

Cool story bro... .its my wifes business truck and 90% of the driving she does with it is towing....it avgs 7 to 9 mpg towing..8 to 11000 lbs..the ecoboost is worse on fuel towing then the 5.0 v8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6.7 does...however the 12 valve 5.9 was better on fuel then 24 valve....if you delete the 6.7...it is close to the same on fuel as the 24 valve 5.9.
