bought my truck last July, have 28,000 on it :o :o :o but then I am retired and don't like sitting at home watching t.v.

If you use the truck only for towing? but as a work vehicle and driving with family everywhere I thought it would be like 5-10%

Most of my towing, quad trailer and boat, is done by the 7.5L gas V8 Winnebago. My mileage goes from 10 unloaded to 8 when towing  :crybaby2:.

I Have a 2011 F150 Ecco Boost Ford 4 door 5'6" bed.  Love it. It's a V-6 Twin torbo.  Empty three people to Yuma and back (AC back) got 21.5 mph driving easy and nt exceding speed limits. Pulling a 20 ft. pontoon (toon & trailer 3200lb.) to Rosey and back 11.5mph.   usually around town 17.  Rated 8000lbs.  360 hp at 5500 rpm. Loaded with stuff and pulling the toon coming down from Boise, Idaho 65mph we averaged 17.8. Handles great and I left my 250 super duty sitting at home.

My suburban gets about 13mpg pulling the boat and is rated to pull up to 10k lbs. Love my cowboy cadillac, got 80k miles on it and going strong. Bought it new in 03 and has had relatively few issues for a full sized truck. The long wheel base makes it a breeze putting the boat in and pulling it out of the lake.
