I just bought a new F350 DRW with 4.10 gears. It was a hard decision on gearing with the 6.7 diesel as they offer only 4.10 or 3.54 or something close to that. I probably would have liked 3.73 or 3.91 as either of those would probably fit my driving style and the weight I plan on towing. As mentioned before if you drive easy and are not at 75 mph express ways you should get decent mileage. I think as a general rule a lot of Chevey owners get good mileage along with several me of the Dodges. I think Ford seems to be a bit more hit or miss on mileage. I think Chevy and Dodge are doing more upgrading to their 2019 trucks than Ford is but they were behind especially in the technology area. Waiting until the fall of 2019 will get you a diesel with a ten speed transmission at least for the Fords. If you have enough gears you can still run towing rearend gearing and just add a few more over drive gears for running solo.
