Hmm.. that empty mileage is pretty pitiful.. My 2013 F250 XLT Super cab with 6.2 weighs in about 1000 lbs heavier and gets me 15.1-15.3 combo city and highway empty and 10.1-10.5 towing 7K lbs of trailer.. Not to mention my available cargo is 3415 lbs to boot!
To add insult to injury didn't cost as much as a F150 ecoboost with max payload either :B
That's pretty good. I uaslly avarge 13.8 with trips getting close to 15 and towing my Jayco 26bh I'll get 8.5.
But I like the sound my engine makes when I put the skinny pedal down :)
Hummm...so you get ~15% less mpg without towing and ~19% better when towing. Not knowing all the factors (driving style, speeds, terrain, etc), I would say that for most people they tow far fewer miles than normal unloaded driving. "Insult to Injury"...why bother with either? He has an Ecoboost and wanted some useful information...not "I 2 I" ;-)
