I drive a 2011 F150 w/3.5 EB 6 sp. If I have the trailer on the back, I am in tow/haul. My truck will downshift to maintain cruise control speed whether in tow or not.
I use my cruise control, set at 55-60 on state roads and get about 11-12 mpg. If I run 65 mph, I get 8-9 mpg. I am retired and in no hurry to get anywhere, I go 55-60.
I do my own shifting in the mountains, going up and down.
