I have a 2010 Ford F-250 4 x 4 with the Power Stroke diesel. Factory set up, no changes or additions. City mileage is around 14, pulling my 21' Ranger is also at 14. Highway mileage with cruise control set between 65-70 (no boat) is 21-22.
Much better than what I was getting with a 2004 Chevy 3/4 ton Dura-Max 4 x 4. Your 2010 ford has the 6.4 in it, and there is not a snowballs chance in heck that it gets 21-22 mpg on the hwy. The computer may tell you that but it just isnt happening. The 6.4 is known to be the worst gas hog of them all, not happening.

Forget Ford f250..the last three I had, developed 'Death Wobble'..google it, as the front end shakes to the point of dangerous...and the dealers deny any knowledge of the problem. just bought the first GMC 3/4 diesel and I love it...except it's government Motors...had to give up on Ford...just traded in 3 in my business. And the only people that buy Chrysler are the ones that can't afford a real truck...disposable!

There isnt nothing throw away with a Chrysler product that has a Cummins. The Ford 7.3, the best International diesel power stroke ever made for Ford. GM still put Isuzu diesels in there trucks I cant say much for those every one we had at work couldnt stay running and a few burnt to the ground. Some people dont wont to spend 60,000 on a king ranch but if you do thats cool for you every one has a diffrent taste but dont knock dodge because I gurranty that Cummins will out last a Dura max in commercial use hands down, been there seen it and done it and lived it when it comes to diesels and heavy iron thats all I know.
Freedom isn't free, you don't have to love it or leave it, but respect the price paid for it.
