2012 f350 tow report

Calgary Alberta to Seattle Washington. Lots of kilometers with just truck.
Towing 2011 cougar xlit 30 foot fifthwheel . 2 adults and 2 boys aged 7 and 9

Details. GCW leaving was 17,400.
Total kometers was 3210
12.2 mpg on truck trip meter towing

6.7 diesel with 3.55 rear
Only a few hills hitting 4 th. I do not have a heavy right foot and like 105 kph or around 62 mph. Usually about 1600 rpm.

Very pleased as truck only now has 15000 km and only breaking in.

Thanks to those members who answered questions regarding campgrounds and diesel fuel available. Stayed 3 nights at Dash Point SP and 3 at Lake Pleasant Rv Park.
Loved Lake Mary Ronan in Montana!

Only got the one finger salute from a punkasauras once. Some people don't realize that 45 feet in tow is different merging than 15 ft. All is good.

Love Montana, Idaho, and Washington and now have 3 years in succession south of the border.
Safeco for the Mariners vs. Angles was awesome!

Cheers
Rob

  • You are right as I towed the same rig the past 2 summers with a 2010 maxtow optioned f150.
    Just to close to rawr for me and the kids and stuff adds up. Felt best choice was to make the jump up for the regions we tow in.
  • Sounds like the truck is performing as designed making the trip more enjoyable.
