9.5 mpg while towing a camper is pretty common. A newer truck might not get better fuel economy, but it will pull it with less fuss.
My work truck is a 2016 F250 with the 6.2 liter. I average 9 mpg consistently and down around 6.5 mpg with a 5k dump trailer. Also, I have 315s and its 4x4.
Not sure how everyone else gets such high numbers.
So far I like the 3.5 the 10spd is decent most of the time you don’t notice the 10spd but once in a while it seems to have trouble making up its mind for a split second but I don’t see anything else as good as the GM/Ford 10spd so who cares lol
Hang onto it. My friend's 2000 F-250 extracab,auto 4wd 7.3 has never exceeded 16 and that's with 265's. He babies the heck of it. Empty with a Snugtop cab hi camper. Never tows.I have a 7.3 excursion. Daily driven and occasionally tow. 33x11.5 tires, a leveling 2" lift, 3.73 with Hydra tunes and average 19-20 mpg mostly hills highway and townView attachment 541768View attachment 541769

When I got it, it originally averages about 11-12mpg. Started a lot of preventative and corrective maintenance. If you haven't tried it yet, use Hot Shot's stiction-eliminator oil and fuel system additive. Very noticeable difference within 10-15 minutes of running the engine and after 2nd fuel fill upHang onto it. My friend's 2000 F-250 extracab,auto 4wd 7.3 has never exceeded 16 and that's with 265's.
