What does the average 28' Center console weigh? My 28 express with trailer is about 12,000 down the hiway...just wondering!

According to the thing under my name....uh, no, I have no bananas! None!

06 dodge ram 2500 I get 22mpg with mine. I prefer the dodge because of the Cummins engine. I'd buy an 06 or older vehicle so it doesn't have the new emission standars on the eninge= decreased mileage.

04 dodge 4x4 4:11's 4 speed auto trans . 18mpg around town empty...stock.

13mpg towing 70 mph -7500 lbs. 15mpg towing 55 mph -7500 lbs

I have heard by removing the resonator in the exhaust system, she will flow much more air

all the aerodynamics of a brick

The ultimate rig would be a stick with 3:55 gears in a 2x4 if you are looking for mpg



Ferds are fast but fuel hogs...zooooom !!!!!



duramax has the creature comforts in the cab, comparable mpg, but in the 4x4 I do not like the boots up front on the split shafts.

I am a old live axle dude.

The dodge has its following. We are a bunch of weirdo's but we have the best diesel engine in a light truck

same here, '06 dodge ram, with cummins...i'm gettin 25 mpg highway, 21-22 city and about 16-17 towing my 2000, 27' wellcraft coastal (@10,000 loaded with gas and trailer).....stock nothing on it!

I have a 01 F250 and stock it would get 19 mpg. After installing 36" tall tires I get 16 mpg. Pulling a 7,000 boat it would get around 12 mpg. I am expecting with my 28' at 12,000 lbs I will be around 9-10 mpg. The new fords definately are not very good on fuel. I have heard the avg to be 14 mpg unloaded.

[floridadeckie]

16/20 city/hwy MPG unloaded and 10-12 avg hauling 9K of trail truck and deckover trailer. this is in a 2003 f-250 4dr short box, 7.3L and 4spd auto

[Blue Water Runner]

2000 F350 7.3 PSD 2wd.

17-21 unloaded. 11-13 towing with the camper on board. I have not checked the millage with just the truck/boat alone.

[BigSteads]

08 f250 fx4...

IMHO I would not buy any 07+ diesel with the new emmissions stature on them espicially a ford. I get about 12-13 mixed 13-14.5 highway. its stock right now. If you see anything with Diesel Particulation filters, regen diesel system, recirculating diesel, do not buy it. Only reason I have mine is because I love the styling personally, and all my operating exspenses are paid for by work.

[Blue Water Runner]

The new 08 domestic models all have EGR and particulate filters. Stay away from them until the manufacturers get a handle on the new emission equipment.
