thesman727 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hey guys. I've got a 95 ford f150 with the 300 i6. Kinda looking to downsize a little in the future. What kind of mileage does the 2.5 get? What about the 4.0? And my guess I'd nobody wants to trade for a Ford with 250k on it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (I'm assuming this meant to go in The Pub and not popular threads? Someone will probably come and move it) My totally stock '91 4.0, 2wd automatic on 29" tires gets a pretty reliable 17-18mpg on the highway as long as I go 70. The Comanche has pretty bad aerodynamics and your fuel economy will be punished heavily at higher speeds because of that. The 2.5 doesn't get that much better mileage that I would specifically look for one (somewhere around 20 mpg usually), and the 4.0 is much more powerful, but with that said the 2.5 is sufficient for a small truck. Both the 4.0 and 2.5 have a similar reputation for toughness as the 300 I6 you have now and produce excellent power for 25+ years old trucks. 1991 or 1992 trucks with the 4.0 have the best parts availabilty, power, and "out of the box" reliability.
