For what ever it is worth - my 2010 F150 SUPERCAB 4WD truck gets great gas mileage pulling my 2008 OFF-ROAD Camper in my signature block. We can make it from King George VA to Gatlinburg TN on one tank. Fillup when we first get to Gatlinburg, visit the town sights for a week while staying the Smoky Mtn ELKMONT camp.
Then fill up again usually around $20 for the trip home... The Gatlinburg trip is usually around 1100 miles counting running around town for about a week in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area I'm guessing 2 1/4 tanks of gas consumed (60 gals)...
My 4000lb loaded up camper of course offers very little wind resistance when being pulled and I am a very easy driver when on the road. The supercab truck having two captain seats in the front and full seats in the rear is very roomy for us.
The truck bed covered with our hard plastic fold-a-cover bed cover and the 5X8 front deck of the camper provides us room for all the camping supplies we need for out outings...
Works great for us with this setup...
