best ever fuel mileage 2009 6.4L

[specta]

2009 F-450 6.4L 4.88 gears.
Empty. Never driven over 70 mph.
45 mph brought it up .2 mpg from its overall average of 9.3 mpg.



Loaded 4.5 mpg. The snowcat weighs 10,000 lbs. Not sure how much the trailer weighs.

I would have thought that it would do better.

Fish remember when I said the 6.0 was junk and the 6.4 was expensive junk and you used to argue with me? Several others called me names like a Ford hater. Good ol days hu? LOL

I don't ever recall challenging you on the 6.4. That must have been someone else. :B

Oooooh no.

I wish RV.net had a better search. That's ok. The 6.4 will go down as bad a GM's 5.7.

LOL...Agreed

Still don't see any trucks with the Bluetec label on the tailgate. Must be a reason!

That’s why I like my Blacktec...

What I do remember when my cousin used to work on these 6.4 trucks he would be asked by people in town if he would recommend one and he would do his best to talk them out of it.

Fast forward to today and you still see a bunch of 6.0 on the road and very few 6.4 on the road and no Bluetecs on the road today. :B

4.5 mpg!?!?! Those are loaded semi truck numbers.

I very briefly had a F-450 stake bed and was disappointed with its performance. It LOVED fueling stations too. From what I recall going at 65 mph on flat land I could get low teens. Only trailer experience was towing a mini van on auto transport trailer and it was barely in the 2 digits. Towing the same trailer with my tuned 6.0l I could get in the mid to upper teens. I know its apple to oranges but main reason why I sold it quick.

Hopefully it goes up for auction before it breaks down again.
