F250 6.2L 3.73 4x4 Super Crew MPG

Looking at this unit for a pop-up truck camper. What can I expect in town and on the hwy with out camper. The camper will weigh 2200# ready to go. Not sure how much mileage will drop? Usually stay at 65-70 on freeway.
  • On my 6.2 I get 9 to 11 towing a 6200# TT at 60 mph. around town 13. Hiway 15-16 at freeway speeds. Hard to keep foot out of it! Enjoy driving this truck.
  • The rule around here is there is no such thing as too much truck, but in this case, that might not hold true if fuel mileage is a concern.
  • My overall unloaded average is 12 mpg, 14- 15 highway, 7 - 9 towing an 8000 lb Rv.
    I suspect with a low profile camper you would be at 10 mpg like lawnspecialties said.
  • Mine gets around 14 on the highway. I get around 7-8 pulling my landscape trailer around town. I also get the same when I was using it to pull our Work & Play.

    My guess is you'll see around 10 if its aerodynamic and you can keep it around 65mph. Close to 70 mph and it takes a toll on mpg.
