Re: 76 f250 tow vehicle by Phil Feinstein
Post New Message Hey, if you tow all downhill, your milage should be at least 25MPG with all the coasting ;-)

Seriously, though; It depends. With a carburated truck, your milage isn't so great to begin with. The manual trans helps a bit, but with a good state of tune and no load you will see about 10 to 15MPG. Hook up the trailer and I wouldn't be surprised if you saw milage in the 5 to 10MPG range.

I don't know your driving habits, I don't know what condition the engine or clutch is in and I don't know the tires and what condition they're in. These 4 things have the biggest impact on fuel economy.

Hope that helps!
