I just traded in my 2012 F250 gasser that I was pulling a 2015 Crossroads Cruiser rl322. Truck was outfitted with Firestone Air Bags. Trailer is 11000 dry. So with junk in it, I was pretty much maxed out. We went on 3 long trips, NH to Myrtle Beach and twice NH to Outer Banks and back. Here's what I can tell you performance wise.
MPG while towing was right at 8MPG
Truck really struggled when going over CT and VA rolling hills. Would scream at very high RPMs in 2nd and 3rd gear, to the point of me asking myself should I be pulling over in the breakdown lane and drive slower?
I traded it in last month for a new 2017 F350 diesel DRW. My stress level has already decreased.
