First Tow
Did my first tow with the new truck last weekend with my new/used 5th. wheel. Wow was I impressed. What a joy to tow. 
My old setup was a 2001 7.3 with regular tow behind trailer. The combined weight was little over 19,000. The new truck and 5th. wheel combined weight was 20,500.
Going over the I-90 pass here in Washington with the old setup I could do 50 mph in 2nd gear. The new truck went over, set on cruse control, at 65 in 4th. gear.
Fuel milage, the old setup I would average 9, the new was averaging 11.
Go on the second towing trip late next week to Whistler.
