Towing MPG
Just wanted to share this. This is my actual mileage pulling a 3124KS (comes in right at 5,000 lbs.) for over 3200 miles (Harker Heights, TX to Richmond, VA and back). I have a 2013 F150 with the 5.0L V8. I used the "Tow/Haul" transmission mode for the whole trip, and kept the cruise control set at 67 mph. I traveled on I-20 and then I-85, so no significant hills to climb with the exception of the area around Birmingham, AL. This represents about a 3.5 mile per gallon improvement over my old (2004) 5.4L, which had less torque and horsepower.
I am pleased.
