Ok... Then it was over a 1 ton truck, and therefore considered a "commercial" vehicle.

1 ton (F350) and below are "passanger" trucks.

OK-Ya hooked me. My 6.0 VORTEC 3/4 ton Chevy gets 13-14 MPG TOWING a 10,000 lb trailer with my bike in the bed. Toyos are good for resale-nothing more. Not towing-I get 16-18 MPG.

Not trying to get into a brand war-just look at all the offerings.

How about a 1 ton full size with the turbo diesel and they get between 16-20mpg with power to spare, can haul anything and are quite comfortable, and in a fender bender, you will win.

What did you wind up with?

My dad has a 99 F250 superduty with 7.3L Powerstroke. 200,000 miles on it. Drove from home to KC and back (6 hours total) and home to an hour east on indy and back (15+ hours total) and averaged 22 mpg. He normally gets 16-17 mpg around town hauling a 16 foot trailer with a couple hundred gallons of lawn chemicals in it.
