[QUOTE="chippie, post: 503364, member: 5644"] I have an '01 Dodge 2500 6-speed manual diesel (Cummins). It pulls our gooseneck trailer easily with good fuel economy. 15 to 18 mpg loaded. 20 to 22 mpg without a trailer. My husband has a 2000 Ford F250 crewcab with the 7.3L diesel engine and an automatic transmission. It pulls well, but not as easily as the Dodge. It gets between 12 to 15 mpg loaded and 18 mpg without a trailer. He also has a 2008 Ford F250 with the 6 whatever diesel engine, automatic transmission. It is his company truck. He has yet to pull a trailer with it, but the fuel mileage is poor. 15 mpg highway (if he is lucky). It is a very quiet engine. You hardly hear it running. We prefer a manual transmission, but sometimes you have to buy what is available (namely the 2000 Ford). I happened to see the Dodge at our local car dealer and snapped it up. Used manual transmission trucks can be hard to find. [/QUOTE]
