Hey guy's I'm looking at buying a 2000 to 2003 4x4 Excursion with the 7.3 and was trying get a good idea of the fuel mileage this rig might get with a 100k on the clock. It's also gonna be lifted 4"-6" with 35's

Same setup and gets 15 MPG in my business partners excursion. He has 6 in. lift with 35's.

That's what I've been hearing for HWY mileage from a few guy's with the same setup. Not to shabby for a 7000lb rig.

Didn't they go to the 6.0 in 2003?

Yeah. But you could also get the 7.3L. My business partners is a 03 with a 7.3L. And when I looked it up on ALL-DATA it had both engines listed for 03.

That's right, the 6.0 came in mid-year 03.

i have an 02 with some stuff done & if i stay at about 65 mph i can get about 21 to 21.5 mpg out of mine.:)

Add about 1000lbs to that!



I've got an F350 that averages 13-15 in the city. I don't know what it gets on the hiway because I'm usually towing my 5er.

my trucks weight is 6800lbs & i dont have one of those junk sluch boxes behind my endine. :stir:
i get 13 to 15 mpg in town. i have got 26 mpg befor on flat hyw & cruise set at 58 mph going from sac. to redding. since then i have not got that i cant stand going that slow!:mad: the milage you get all depends on your driving habbits.
