First Somewhat long trip towing
First trip towing the boat this past week overall approx. 400 miles. No regen that I saw. Stayed between 45-60mph and showing an average of 8.9-9.3 mpg. The truck is a 2013 F350 DRW with 35's and 20's, just checked the vin and it says the truck is running 3.73's. Boat is a 24ft cabin cruiser I'm guessing is approx. 8k lbs. Haven't weighed yet. Truck pulled amazing with no issues, couldn't even feel the boat behind the truck!! overall very satisfied with the trucks performance! Does my mpg sound about right to y'all? I've had the truck about two weeks now, and haven't ran a whole tank through it not towing to see my mpg around town. Also, just had the update/flash done last week before we left out. no issues from the update so far!!

Ijust got home from a 7000+ mile road trip, pulling my 41' Raptor that weighs right a 13000 empty, but was fully loaded....full 13'6" high,102"(8'6") wide.
Across AZ, NV, ID, MT, the Dakotas, MN, WI, WY, CO, and UT.....lots of mountains, 2 lane highways, some wind, rain, and plenty of heat!! When I pulled in my yard, my computer showed 9.6 average for the whole trip.
, which I think is pretty good.
I generally set the cruise at 67-68, where permitted.....Minnesota and Wisconsin had some 55 and 60 MPH roads, but I did not put a LOT of miles in those states either.
