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.

Btw, they changed the suspension and tires as well.

How does the camper affect fuel economy?
After the camper went in, we had to see just how much the install affected fuel economy. While the stock truck managed about 15.5 mpg and the off-road modifications changed that figure to 13.3 mpg. Over 964 miles, Andre used 84.424 gallons of fuel, amounting to a new fuel economy figure of 11.4 mpg.
Overall, the modifications we’ve made to the truck to date resulted in a 26 percent drop in fuel economy. When it comes to actually taking the truck off-road, though, the changes should make the Super Tremor a worthy companion when we leave the payment. That’s coming up in new episodes of our “No Pavement Needed” series, so stay tuned to TFLtruck.com for more updates on that!
