GasSavers_Gollum Registered Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Posts: 53	As far as I can tell HAL, we completely agree upon the engine size discussion. The reason to have a V8 in a truck though, is that when towing the V6 will NOT be happy, and I HAVE done a fair amount of towing. It's amazing that a F-250 with a 460 Ford can get nearly identical mileage unloaded as it does under a 2000# tow. Most of the difference mileage is aerodynamic. A V6 with similar HP would be severely compromised by that load.
