For comparison, we have a 2002 F350, 7.3L PSD, crewcab, long bed with a cap on the truck. We pulled a 36.5' Avion 5er(a bit under 14,000#)(pre bed cap) and generall ran 10.5 to a bit over 11 mpg at 65 mpg. This was with a 4.10 axle. At 65 mpg, no traoler we will get 16.5 mpg. With the 35' Avion, lightly loaded 8200#, we will get 11 to 11.5 mpg at 65 mpg. The engine is stock, except for the SuperChip Mocro tuner set at the low Tow Safe setting.
Best we have ever done was with the 28' Silver Streak, a 30 mph tail winf and running 67 mph, was 14.5 mpg (pre bed cap).
I woudl be very interested to see what the ecoBoost does towing at it's upper limits as well as how does it hold up for durability.
