Maybe my truck is an anomaly. I have the last of the GM big block gassers. My 07 has the 8.1 Vortec and is rated for a 15K 5th wheel.
Gets 11mpg towing a 10K 5er. Had the Ford V10 and got about the same.
I had an LB7 Duramax before it. The 8.1 will probably be here a long time as it only has 60K. And maybe that's the issue My diesel sat around and only really got used for towing.
Waiting to see the actual specs on the new Ford 7.3 gasser
