Ecoboost towing mileage
Whelp my 2011 XLT got me 10.5 with some hills going out to Riverhead ( 30 miles ). We'll see what I get when I go to Pa. in 2 wks. Didn't bother with the Tow/Haul mode. RPM's go up.......mileage goes ...

If you cringe at the MPG while pulling a trailer get a boat cruise around the lake for a day. That 9-10 MPG won't seem so bad afterwards. I think I get about 5 MPG cruising half throttle (24' pontoon with a 150 HP). Tow a tuber/skier or go wide open and it drops to around 3 MPG! Our toys may not be cheap to own but they sure are fun to use :) BTW, I get about 9 MPG towing our trailer.
I hear you there. And, the gas gage doesn't work on my boat anymore. Ran out of gas once last year and had to row to shore. Thankfully it was on a small lake and a day with no wind.
