Do you guys know what would be the best MPG Diesel Truck to pull my 2012 26 Foot Fifth Wheel (7,580 lbs). Thanks for your help.

Do you use ODD OFF?.Thanks.
Nice flat highway, no wind, cruise control at 55....I was thrilled with 13 on my 2010 F250 2WD CC towing a 5th wheel...- Nice flat highway, no wind, cruise control at 55....I was thrilled with 13 on my 2010 F250 2WD CC towing a 5th wheel...

Except towing with a good 3rd gen. My FIL even said that of his 13 Duramax Alley and he is a GM man.- My 2012 F350 towing 14,000 gets 10.5MPG in hills and mountains of the northeast. And 11.2 MPG in less hilly terrain of the south east (I-95 in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia). And 12.0 on the flat highways in Florida.
Highway non towing averages 16MPG.
I have 25,000 miles on the truck. About 10K of that is towing. bobx2 wrote:

How can it be even better than it's IDENTICAL TWIN??
Add that before locking the thread... :)
Like Ford and Mercury, the Mercury's came with lock washers! :BRic Flair wrote:

Add that before locking the thread... :)- Early Durmax diesel like new injector to the tune of 4-5K installed. So if you find an early one that has recently had the injectors replaced that is the best. However expect to pay a fairly high price of a good one.
06 and 07 Classic's with LBZ engines were really good models, and have 6 speed Allisons.
You can buy a lot of gas for the F150 for the price of trading up.

He asked best!!! I gave the best answer so far. The trucks I identified will get 14-15 towing his trailer maybe even a little higher and 24-25 empty on the highway. Chris
Gonna have to raise the BS flag on these numbers. Take 5 mpg off of them, and then they are realistic.
No the numbers I posted are real for that vintage Dodge/Cummins 2X4 with manual transmissions.
I tow a 12K+ tall 5th wheel with a 2001.5 Dodge/Cummins 4x4 with 4.10 gears and auto, which averages over 12MPG between Washington and Arizona. Get 19-20 empty on the road at 60-65.

Most numbers are BS these are not!
