Ford 6.2 Mileage while towing
Can anyone give me a good estimate on the mileage Ford's 6.2 V8 with 3.73 rear end gets when towing a 10k fifth wheel? My father's looking to upgrade his TV so he can get a fifth wheel but he doesn't...

I have a 16 Ford supercab with a 6.2 V8 with 3.73 gears 20K miles on it and towing a 10k+ 38'TT. I'm usually towing in the hills of New England and trips down south. It consistently gets 9-10 MPG towing. When I head south in late february with the temps in the single digits its 7.5 and when I'm back in the 60+ range I'm back to 9. The best I've ever done is 12 following in the slipstream of a box truck 60MPH.
I also have a full cap on the truck with kayaks on the roof (I keep telling myself this is helping my mileage, but we know better...). Best advise I have; keep the tires inflated to the max and keep the speed at 65.
