Buying 2014 F350 Platinum Diesel 4X4 to tow Toy hauler.

[Wandering Aimlessly]

Just wondering if anyone has this truck ? How it performed ? Gas mileage? Power? Upgrades? Things you don't like ?

I love mine but I have the dually version but I only have 200 km on it haha I have had it 4 months

I have one single wheels, really nice truck pulls really good only has an 85 litre tank tho, lots of power, gets like 12-13 liters per 100 km not towing and like 18-20 with a 28' enclosed with 4 sleds doing 125-130. Everything's awesome just get a bigger tank I put in a 200 liter slip tank, my dad and my father inlaw both put bigger Titan tanks in there's.

I got one and have 11,000 Kms so far, it's hard on fuel, best I can get is 15-16l/100 empty and pulling my 21' enclosed with 3 sleds tidy tank in truck doing 105 km/hr best I've seen is 25 L /100. It pulls nice, it's a bit rough over the bumps. Over all it's a nice truck.

Try a cetane booster works good on 6.7's

Have a 13 platinum really like the truck wish it had a push button exhaust break. Fuel mileage is terrible also most likely due to the dpf and Def restricting the motor.

When you say terrible what is that? Deletes offer minimal mileage gains anymore unless you idle alot.

I have one... I now only have 16,000 km on it...! Now all BS aside I drive to Calgary allot during the week. I drive 118 - 120 on hwy 2 and I'm 13-14L/100km ... Everyday driving 15-16L/100km ... Just got back from Valemount/Blue River pulling my 4 place 2 sleds and my average trip was 21.8L/100km ... So they should get better around 20-25k as my 2011 was amazing fuel mileage. Doesn't matter what ya buy there all recycled srap iron & plastic pop bottles that r fuel pigs.

 

[channonmanuel]

Maybe the gear ratios have something to do with the fuel economy, I have one as my work truck and it was a pig on fuel but it was geared really high

I have a '13 lariat with 32,000 km and love it I'm getting the same mileage (maybe just a touch better) than kibbels. My record was coming back from calgary doing 120 km/h I did 11.7 L/100km with the sled deck on.

Here is my hand calculated info for the last 12k. My truck is used primarily for hauling or towing with only one long highway trip empty. My best was last weekend when i had a crazy wind behind me. But before that my best was 12.9 l/100 km on that one empty highway trip.

I have the 3.55 gears and the 20s which use a little more fuel than the ones with the 3.31 and 18s.

I have one, bought this fall and has ~20000KM. Worse gas mileage than my old duramax, averages about 17 empty at 120 and 9ish with the 26' enclosed at 120. Tows OK, definitely not nearly as stable as the Duramax nor does it have as much power. Its very easy to drive, its like your in a half ton. Incredible ride quality as well.

I can't compare to the Duramax but mine is doing better than my old truck which was the same truck but had the 7.3 in it. I drove that one slower as well as it burnt a lot more fuel over 100 km/ hr.
