  looking at a 2008 Ford F250 with a Diesel engine. Does anyone have one and can you tell me what mpg you get towing and not towing. Really need some input. I have a 150 now that gets 20, 10.5 towing.

  I have an 08 F350 with a 6.4. While it doesn't get great mileage, it does have good power. If you live in an area where emissions are not required, you can get a DPF delete and it'll run like a champ. Though I would recommend going with at least one year newer or making sure that it's not one of the 07 build date trucks(on the door tag) as those had some issues. http://www.dieselpowermag.com/features/1212 dp_6_4 l_problems/ For mileage, either go with the 7.3 or the 6.7 Powerstrokes. The 2003 through 2007 6.0 Diesels have been known to have serious issues, so avoid them unless you own a diesel shop with a lift.
