Ford 7.3 gas burner mpg hauling TC
What kind of mpg could you expect from Ford's new gas burner 7.3 hauling a Northstar Laredo? I have seen where they got 5.6 hauling a heavy loaded trailer.

No one can possibly answer this. There are just too many factors:
highway vs mixed or city driving

This is very true...I get very good mileage with my 460 but others don't..I rarely put the pedal to the metal and keep it at or under 2k RPMs and have got between 10 and 14 mpg..
The op with his comparable TC to mine,would probably get about the same or better with the new 7.3, if he kept his foot out of it and kept it at or below 60 mph..Travel freeway speeds and the mileage goes South with big bore gas engines..
