Get serious. If you really want an eco thingy, then stick with a TT. If you want a fifth wheel, get a real truck with real capabilities. My brother bough an eco boost and pulling his Jayco ultralite TT he is only getting around 10.5 MPG. Heck my Dodge Cummins pulling my 13,500 fiver gets that as a minimum. So dont let the eco hype get you suckered into an undersized TV.

When have we seen gas engines pulling trailers or boats in the past , and getting 10.5 ,I was lucky to get 8 pulling with any weight with gas, pulling 13K with a diesel I see 12 once in awhile, but on average 10-11 ., and certain condition's down to 9 . I agree if you want to tow heavy go diesel, but 10.5 is nothing to scoff about towing trailers. Too good of reviews with these newer gas engines to overlook.

Here here fully agree equipped right the F150 Ecoboost will Handel smaller 5vers have friends that are doing it. Also after pulling a 5ver I doubt you will go back to tt. Now on the other hand if full timing and majority of miles are towing may consider F250/350. The E.B. mpg really shines when not towing and the ride is first cabin. Don't over look this very capable vehicle the only one in the 1/2 ton class to consider when you look at all the specs.
