FWIW your gas mileage will suck big time with the Ford 6.2 both loaded and unloaded. My 2013 Ford 6.2 averages a little over 12mpg commuting, mostly hiway and just over 8 mpg on a slowwww trip last year with 1k lb in the bed and a 4k lb enclosed trailer in tow.
If you do a lot of miles with the camper on you won't pass any gas stations!
By comparison, my diesel does 18mpg avg on summer fuel commuting, 12+ with the camper on if I keep it under 70mph and 11mpg with camper and same trailer.
Just food for thought.
On my first long trip check with the TC, my 6.2 averaged almost 11 mpg (10.75) with an AF 990 on board. I'm not towing anything, and I've got the 3.73 gears as I said.
Around town I get around 12 MPG just as you do, and almost 10 MPG with the TC on. There just isn't that much difference between empty and completely loaded in MPG. Highway empty is about 14-15, with a high of 16. I have no doubt that towing a trailer gets you under 10, but a TC is not a trailer.
