I get a little better mileage than spud1957 pulling a 5th wheel with a gvwr of 10,000 but I had to experiment to see what speed was best. It seems as though 62 or 63 mph works best for me. Haven't had it empty on the highway yet but I got close to 16 mpg. on a state road without many stops driving at about 58 mph.
My son has pulled his TT (weighs quit a bit less than my 5th wheel) with it and gets worse mileage than I do with my 5th wheel so I think driving style has a lot to do with it.
I think the Ecoboost with a little more displacement would be a good fit for the Super Duty.
