max tow pkg question

Just got a 350 with max tow pkg with the 6.7 engine.
What kind of fuel mileage should I get solo? Towing?

I don't have a comparable truck, so I will pass on mileage.

But I wanted to congratulate you on the new truck!

So far I have 12000 miles on mine. average solo around town has been 14.5. Absolute best tank was 16.14. Absolute worst tank was 7.06 pulling a 19,000 pound toy hauler with a constant 20+ mph head wind. Overall average for the 12K miles has been 11.42 with about 40% of the miles towing.

At 65mph I will get 20.x mpg. Towing our 5th (never exceeding 60mph) I can see as high as 13, usually in the 11's tho. Our 5th is 39' and tips the scale at 12700#.

Is this a DRW truck with 4.30 gears like the original poster asked about, or a SRW with 3.55 gears?
