A few points of interest.

1) not many people pulling 22,800 drives at 70.

2) would be interesting to see the difference if a full faced fifth wheel were attached.

3) I know it would take a lot longer, but they should do it over 400 or 500 miles. Something more than just 98. And track regens, that's a huge deal. If the Ford went through a regen during the route, the mpgs would be off drastically.

4) at least it's realistic. I read and hear too many stories of "I get 12 mph towing 15k pounds at 70 mph." Yeah no.

I'm only hooked to 20-21,000 but I usually run right at 70. I let'er back downext a little on the hills going up but I will also let'er roll on the down hill side a little. My truck has 3.42:1 and I average 9 all day long. BTW last time I checked my 5th wheel has a full front on it. I'll never get 12 if I dropped the boat off but it would be real close at 60.
