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 matter how many times you post it ... it’s still not true. ;) You only have to look up the specs for equivalent 2016 and 2017 models.
What really happened is they took most of the weight savings from going to aluminum body and increased the steel in the frame which resulted in almost no weight savings.
There are still signs to turn off AC on Vantage hill in WA last time I was there, so maybe CA found a way to change the slope of their hills. Or maybe, they just took down a sign or two. ;)
Jim, you would have better luck basking your head repeatedly into the nearest tree than convincing otherwise! At one point I recall a post from our resident comrade that the beds were 700lbs lighter!
