6.7 High Output F450 MPG test! Surprising GOOD!

Despite all of the negative talk these days and what the competition offers I still say Ford is the King!

[@joshsuperduty1270]

Long live the Ford Super Duty truck

[@clifft7832]

There is a reason that you can buy a Ram every day, and the dealer has a lot full of them, and the Chevy is very available, but you have to order a Ford and wait 6-10 months for it to be built. People that know trucks want a Super Duty.

[@awdeveau]

​@@clifft7832 people that want a truck to play with like the fords because they're fast. But the majority of people that tow heavy on a regular basis, like hot shot truckers choose RAM. They're both good trucks, I'd be happy with either. The only one I wouldn't buy would be Chevy, but that's just from personal experience as my last one was an electrical nightmare. It couldn't make it a whole month without having some new electrical problem.

I've got a 2023 F350 XL FX4 with the 6.7 HO. I get 17~19mpg on the highway while doing 80mph, and I'm doing about 150rpm lower with the 3.31 rear end. I chose the lower ratio rear end to help keep good highway mpg, and figure the extra hp/torque will counter that when I have a large trailer on. Mine is to get around my property in the mountains and tow a tractor + trailer in and out as needed.

[@burhanalka6991]

I've got the 2020 F350 XLT FX4 6.7 with the 3.55 rear end and a 2021 F250 6.7 with the 3.31 as work trucks. I get about the same mpgs doing 80 on the highway, with the 3.31 being just a little better, and I've been thinking about doing something similar to what you're doing with the 2023 HO as the HO just really brings in that extra power. Although, after towing with the 3.55 and the 3.31 I think staying with the 3.55 with HO might still be efficient enough in my case as I don't get past 70 while towing. The 2023 or 24 depending on when I plan on getting it will be a personal for the future with plans of hauling a decent sized 5th Wheel RV cross country so it all depends. If you've got any videos doing any sort of towing above 14k trailer I'd love to see it with that HO 3.31.

F450 is an absolute beast. I love mine and would never have a 3500 or 350. Those just don't come close to the ability of this truck in every detail. I've owned a 150, 250, 350, a GMC 3500, and now the F450. Hello... NO WAY I'd ever go back to any of those previous trucks. On my last 600 mile trip, I AVERAGED 15 MPG. Up and down hills from California to Arizona to Nevada and back again. Wife drives the truck on highway at 75 mph most of the time. Impressive numbers.

[@wj2791]

I have driven 2500, 3500, F250 and F350 DRW and am waiting for F450 Limited. Yes, 75 mph is speed that i will drive normally when it is wide open. I will not drive at 67 mph to get the better mpg.

Very useful video thank you. 23 450 will be my daily driver and regularly be towing anywhere from 10000 to 20000 lbs cross country. Thanks for posting up something that can give me a rough ballpark idea on what my daily driving mileage may look like.

[@JTBCOOL1]

Cummins had us Ford guys for a bit when it came to power. The 6.7l power strokes changed the game for sure though for diesels. These new HO 6.7s expanding that gap even more. I personally run a tuned 7.3l powerstroke. Going to upgrade it further and try to hit 500 hp rwhp, but should easily hit 450 rwhp. running about 330-340 rwhp right now on my hottest/race tune. Just need to delete these new HO 6.7s and throw in a Banks cold air intake, then run a tune (+15hp) and you should get around 550 hp. Not completely sure but seems reasonable. Of course turbo upgrades and a higher hp tune can crush that 550 hp number. I wonder what the torque numbers would be? 1400 ft lbs??

[@andrewslagle1974]

the std out / put on the 6.7 is 475 hp now !

[@cobeytriche4808]

Only thing wrong with that truck is FORD no longer offers the shift on the floor four wheel drive. I hate that electric shift shit.

Diehard 2wd guy but feel same about the automatic transmissions

Yep and I hate how only the xl and stripped down xlt come with regular keys. If the battery dying in my '17 Lariat Ultimate's key fob didn't nearly leave me stranded in the middle of my ranch, I never would've paid the extra money and taken the extra time to replace the battery.

[@JeffMiller-m7r]

just drove my '23 for 1700 miles empty and got 16mpg

[@wj2791]

at what speed per hour?

[@mikedowling3569]

A better (as in more accurate) test would be to calculate the actual mpg, instead of assuming the dash display is honest and accurate. My F150 is typically 1 mpg less (and sometimes even a little worse than that) vs the display.

[@DS-TRUCKS]

U sure?

[@mikedowling3569]

Yup! I’m certain about the math, and I’m pretty sure (bit not certain) there was even a lawsuit associated with an allegation that Ford rigged the computer algorithm to mislead owners.

[@letsmakeitbetter.1948]

You were not doing 65 in Texas

[@TomGlander]

It would be interesting to see what the mileage is if you were to never go over 65 mph and stayed on flat roads using hyper driving techniques. That's probably pretty close to what you were doing here.

MPG's in a F450 empty is of very little validity for me and many others. I bought mine to tow. If I want to run empty up & down the freeway & want good mpg's; I would have bought a F150 or Ranger. On my break-in trip with my F350 7.3L gasser I got 17.5mpg going 65mph for ~485 miles. Lot less $$$ if I want a Super Duty & run empty. But I bought it to tow a 8400# trailer.
