No, there rear wheel drive & fast as fook
Especially the lighting 2 door models
I was looking at getting 1 a few years back after i saw 1 hit 470bhp on the rollers

They can do about 20mpg driving on idle but normally average 10mpg which was the end result in me not getting 1

what a truck, pity it's so far away, i bet it sounds the dogs danglies,

it's possible it could do around 25mpg, depending how it's driven though,

7.3lt wouldn't work very hard would it ???.

Would have thought 0 to 60 in about..

2 Gallon's

Quick google says that engine has 250hp. How do they get so much power out of these little engines?

Brian ;O)

Normally the States produce big Gas guzzlers for the US, and export smaller diesels to the UK

.

If this is the case, what must be the size of the gas (petrol) engine sold in the US?

You couldn't park it at Tesco's, spaces are too small.

You'd actually be suprised, I know a bloke with a newer one of these and his is 4x4. He does get over 25mpg out of it, when on the motorway with the cruise control set to 60... the engine only has to idle. The idea with the massive yank TDs is they are just all low down torque so you never work the engine. Make fantastic tow buses, that will embarrass a Land-rover's or transit's mpg when towing 3.5 tons...

Looks cool but id have doubts about the "over 25mpg" claim

Paul · 13-11-2010, 23:43

The sodding buses I drive have smaller engines..

nice, mpg is feasible with light right foot, as so much power on tickover.

7.3 equates to around 450 cubic inch, or big block, for ref a chevy 350
or 5.7 litre is small block. cross over is somewhere around 6.4 litres as
i recall.

make good fifth wheel tug, though prefer twin rear wheels for that work
the extra wheel goes on outside of existing rear wheel with another 6-8
inches of metal work flare covering it!

would say 2wd looking at stance, i would prefer dodge ram in this group
with its cummins 5.9 - 6.3 straight 6 24 valve td drool.
