Just talked to a 2005 Ford F-250 Diesel owner. He used to own a half-ton Ford Ranger like mine.
He said, "Well, I used to get 20 mpg with the Ranger and now I get 12 at most with the diesel--empty, loaded, or pulling a trailer. Yes, it's powerful. However, I loved that 4L V6 that pulled the Ranger. Great pickup engine."
If he would have bought a Dodge he could have got 20 mpg, and wouldn't have to bump his butt on the road riding in a ranger.
Seriously though, I've got a buddy that bought an 06 (I think), and it only got 12 mpg. Ford got it back, and he went back to driving his 2000 model.
