Never used it to pull the mowers

'03 F150 gets about 17 on the road and 9-10 pulling a 14' tandem axle trailer with two walkbehinds. This truck was in the shop a couple of weeks ago. Rented an '11 F150 from Uhaul for a few days. The computer said it got right at 13mpg pulling the trailer. It had a v-8 but don't know what size.

2500 6.0 towing 7,000 enclosed. I'm hoping for at least 5mpg this year. I'll find out soon enough.

Mix of city highway and street diving with trailer on full time, 6.6mpg.

I get a solid 10 pulling same weight, 6.0 gas 2500HD. Get rid of the lift you should get the same. A lift might look good but there are only disadvantages to having a lift kit in a truck you use for work.

350 TBI almost 300K miles and I don't want to know MPG but whatever it is it is even out by the reliability of the motor. I did the stock EGR and MAP sensor and it was night and day.
