That's $53 to $131 more than the $263 unloaded figure (about 20% to 50% higher). At 8 mpg, expect one fuel stop.
The 48 gal tank assumes a 6.7L Power Stroke Crew Cab with an 8 ft bed (Ford spec). Regular Cab and SuperCab models have 29 gal. MPG assumes 12 mpg unloaded, since heavy-duty trucks have no EPA rating; towing a camper can drop it to about 8 to 10 mpg. Price is the average of every posted diesel price on the route: Love's exit 15 at $6.149 and Pilot exit 40 at $6.269.
