There seemed to be some frustration in getting an answer on another thread about how the 2017 F250 gas hauls a camper weighing about 2,600 pounds. I can tell you that we've been hauling our new NL all over the Yellowstone region for the past two months, and the truck handles it very well, plenty of power up the steep grades of the mountains. We don't do a lot of highway driving, but when we have, it was fine. Since the truck only has 3,000 miles, we're still expecting some improvement in gas mileage since it's averaging about 11 with the camper. Our Chevy 2500HD averaged about 12.8. We have airbags, but are also adding the Hellwig Big Wig sway bar since we get some uncomfortable sway when going over uneven payment, such as into our driveway. But we don't get any sway otherwise. Overall, I'm happy with the F250 gas.

Glad you're liking the new Ford. Sounds like a pretty good setup. We were in Cody two years ago. Spent a few days in Yellowstone and the Tetons too. It's beautiful out there. We hope to get back out there next year. Being our truck is 21 years old and has 335k miles we hope to be hauling the Lance on a newer Ford or Chevy truck on our next trip your way.
