Im looking to buy a local f250 here in texas that i can use as a daily driver. Its a manual ****** and has 39.5 inch mudders. Would fuel economy **** on this kind of setup? I will be driving about 1.2k miles a month. Thanks for any input
What if the mud tires were replaced for some smaller ones, would my MPG’s be better?

I would bet that you would be looking at about 10-12 mpg’s depending on how hard you drive.
yes your gas mileage would be horrible with that kind of setup
those trucks might get about 18 mpg on the highway and about 13-15 mpg city. the mudders will probably make you get about 3 to 4 mpg less than that plus the lift will throw off steering and the spedometer. this truck probably isnt a great vehicle for daily driving.
puting smaller tires will help your fuel milage. if you want to put some money in it and get a little more power and better fuel milage out of it a chip and maby 90 hp injectors will help along with exheust and intake. i got about 3.5 more mpg with my dodge just by buting a chip in it the trick with that is you just have to keep you foot out of the throttle hard to do some times
