It is a 4x4 and while it is an XLT Ultimate package whereas my other one was a Lariat, I like my XLT equally as well and I think the seats are actually more comfortable than the leather seats in the 16.
Really, really like this truck so far. Scott

Scott,
Your new truck sounds great, and I'm sure you'll appreciate the camper package with your camper installed. Ours is a 4x2 but is otherwise similar. We like ours as well.
Best of luck!

Looks like at 11,500 miles now, I am just locked in at the 12.5+/- hand calc'd tanks. Yesterday's fill was at 12.2 (247mi at 20.1 gal.) This last tank did include me moving my 10k CTL from one job to another and back. Lots of city driving in my averages.

So my first short distance trip with my new truck.
I hit a lot of traffic so it killed my mpg, at one point (2 hours in) i was at 15.8, but traffic developed and I was done for.
Still, not too bad
I did this trip twice in the loaner 6.7 and got 17, so I'm happy.

I just did 200 miles unloaded this weekend on Interstate 5 at 75mph I was right at 13.5. Once I go over 70 my mpg plummets.

Well I thought about that, but since I was in the 6.2 forum thought I didn't need to. I have a 2017 6.2 LB 3220 miles

All that adds up to a more informed discussion and analysis.

I stayed within 3-5 miles of the speed limit, so it varied from 58 - 68 the entire trip; mostly 68. Completely flat trip.

I am ready to take the plunge on a F250 CC SB w/4.30 gears and this thread caught my attention. I have to decide whether to go 4wd or 2wd. I like the utility factor of 4wd, but the extra fuel economy with a 2wd might also be attractive. We don't camp off-road so 2wd with a locking rear differential would likely be fine, but be a limiting factor when unhooked for sight-seeing in remote areas on unimproved roads. I'll be pulling up to a 9500 lb. bumper pull RV and an extra 2 mpg would give me another 70 miles or so of range on those long stretches of highway.
So, a lot hinges on a comparisons between towing a TT with 2wd vs. 4wd.

I towed roughly 7.5k# over the weekend 5 hours each way. I pretty much drove across PA east to west and back again. The steepest grade was 2%, so nothing big there. Maybe once or even twice did the truck shift into 3rd to maintain 65. I run 91+ (turnpike stations have 93) when towing, and my overall mpg for the entire trip is 10.3. I'm pretty happy with that.
I'm at just over 3k miles now too.
