[QUOTE="Bauer, post: 456702, member: 775"] After I posted, I took to the ol AI google machine and learned quickly that the gearing doesn't much matter anymore with the 10spd transmissions, unless a person starts changing tire sizes which it does help with there. I purchased a new 2025 F250 6.7L on Saturday, driving from Bismarck home to Garrison my fuel mileage climbed the whole way, reached 16.5mpg as I pulled in the yard, I have no doubt that there's room left if I had a longer trip. This being my first diesel, I was impressed to not have to drop a gear (or two) or see my set cruise speed waver on the likes of the Wilton hill. My primary towing is a 22' fiberglass Yar-Craft, but between helping with sport shows and demo rides and yard work, can pull anything from a 18' aluminum boat, to a 27' pontoon, to a skid steer, so being back in a 3/4 ton has more added benefits than just the diesel. My ecobeast served me well for 50k, especially after coming out of my 2014 F250 6.2L that rode like a jackhammer down the highway, but this new truck is in a whole class of its own. [/QUOTE]
