6 Cyl Dodge Diesel 30 mpg?
Find myself disappointed that the F150 Ecoboost only gets 10 mpg towing, was really hoping to make a dent in my gas bill with my next truck. I love my F150, but at 7mpg towing and not towing anymore ...

30 MPG unloaded is very realistic. Not sure what it will get towing, but it will be better than the EB.
And with all the advances like large 4 wheel disc brakes, I'd be willing to bet that a 2014 15 series truck, regardless of brand, will likely have better braking than an early 2000's 25 or 35 series truck.
I'm not worried at all about my stopping power. My current F150 is not challenged at all by my current trailer uphill or downhill. It's just the mpg. And you're right anything I get now should be better equipped than my 2001 (an assumption I will confirm before any purchase).
Moving from 7 to 10 mpg won't be worth the cost, but if I could double or triple my towing mpg it would be well worth it and I'd feel good on the road again.
