Just returned from a round trip from Houston to Hot Springs Arkansas towing the trailer in my sig. 2016 F250 6.2L gasser towing a 2016 Jayflight 27BHS. Trailer, per the Cat scales, weighing in at 6900 lbs. Round trip mileage averaged 8.9 MPG towing at an average of 62 MPH.Real world mileage for whomever is interested !Stay safe out there, lots of idiots on the road...

Last year (almost exactly) we picked up a 2012 F250 CCSB XL (base model) 6.2L gas with 102k on it, as I didn't feel like navigating the (expensive) mine field that appears to be modern diesel trucks. Shortly thereafter, upgraded the trailer from a 2013 Salem T21RB (24' OAL) to a 2018 Cougar 28RLSWE (~31' OAL) with a Husky CenterLine hitch.Truck tows like a dream (compared to the '06 GMC 1500 we had before with the 24'). Mileage is down a fuzz; 8-9 is pretty average, 10+ on a good day on *flat* land - but there ain't much of that around here. Seems like every trip is uphill - both ways ;) MPG dips down into the 7s if trying to do 70+ mph thru hilly country. Did a couple short trips last summer, along with a two-week multi-state trip from central WA to MT, across ND to Bismark, back across and down thru SD into western NE, then up thru WY, MT and ID back to WA again. Earlier this year (February) made a run down to Phoenix and back.For the most part, the truck drives smoother with the extra weight back there, and at first on the flat/straight-aways we kept checking the mirrors to make sure the trailer was still there!

My old 7.3 diesel does way better than that. wow. you have a couple Arabs following you with extra fuel?

As this is a Gas thread... My 2015 F250 6.2L 3.73 gears pulling a 30 foot BH, we get about the same. However north of here are large long grades uphill and we have gotten a little less. We are upgrading to a 5ver. I expect it to be less. However this is the DW around town car and we only tow about 40 nights. Doesn't pay to get a diesel. Maybe when we tow more we would do that, but very happy with this TV.Happy Trails

I tow with a 2016 F250 6.2, 4x4, CCSB, with 4.30's. Most of my towing is in the California Mts, many grades 6% for a few miles each. My TT weights in right at 6,000 loaded, and I average right at 9.2. Happy with that and I have plenty of pedal left on the hard pulls. Never considered going to a diesel, too much added costs.

I forgot to mention the wind. We fought wind both coming and going on our trip. I estimate 15 to 20 mph winds... not sure how much it affected our mileage but I am sure it knocked it down some !
