* Year: Fuel economy has improved over the years with newer models generally being more efficient.
* Engine: Different engine options (e.g., 6.7L Power Stroke vs. previous generations) have different fuel consumption rates.
* Configuration: A heavy-duty truck with a lot of towing or hauling will consume significantly more fuel than one used for light-duty work.
* Driving style: Aggressive driving habits will lower fuel economy.
* Terrain: Driving in mountainous areas or off-road will reduce fuel economy.
Therefore, it's impossible to give a single definitive answer. However, you can expect a range of:
* Highway: 15-20 MPG (miles per gallon) is a reasonable range for many models under ideal conditions.
* City: 10-15 MPG is a typical range, and often lower depending on the factors mentioned above.
* Combined: 12-17 MPG is a plausible combined average for many models.
To find a more precise estimate for a specific Ford F-250 diesel model and year, I recommend checking the following resources:
* EPA Fuel Economy Website (fueleconomy.gov): This website provides official fuel economy estimates from the Environmental Protection Agency. Search by year, make, and model.
* Ford's Official Website: Ford's website usually lists fuel economy information for their vehicles.
* Used Car Listings: Many used car listings sites will show fuel economy estimates based on owner reports. Keep in mind that these can be subjective and vary widely.
Remember that these are just estimates, and your actual fuel consumption may vary.
