Just returned from a round trip from Dallas to Scottsdale and back. 2200 miles. 2017, CC, Platinum, 4x4 swb, 6.7, 3.55. Pulled my 24 ft Pace car hauler out there to pick up my Boss Mustang that recently completed a 2 year restoration. Empty, the trailer is only about 5200 lbs with gear and tool chests, etc. With the car in it, its about 8700 lbs. Driving out to Scottsdale at 65 to 70 mph, I was getting north of 12.5 mpg and on the way back it dropped a bit, but stayed above 12. I hit 14 mpg on a couple segments that were flat. I am very impressed with the mileage. FWIW, I get north of 20 on the freeway without a trailer and a bit over 17 in my daily commute to work with a mix of city and hwy. I bought this truck to replace a 2009 F150 CC with max tow. The EcoBoost was plenty powerful, but there is no substitute for the capabilities of the SD. It was a real pleasure to drive.
Here are a couple pics. And to answer SESWIM's question, I routinely get between 20 to 22 on trips between Dallas and Houston (225 miles) driving between 70 to 75 mph. A headwind will push it to the lower end of that range, and a tailwind will push it the other way. Its not uncommon for me to get low 20's going one way vs high 21's going the other way.
Nice looking 'Stang, sir. Good looking rig too. That's about the same kind of mileage I get on the freeways around here (unencumbered of course), maybe a shade over 20. I drive 75-80 when I can. Of course the only hills we have over here are bridges and overpasses.
I have never gotten over 20mpg on a sustained drive, ie. over 50-60 miles. Always hovers around 18 or so if running 65mph or so. Between my home, Grand Junction, and Denver, Approx 240 miles, running 75-80 mph the mpg is around 16. Not refuting anyones claims, just know mine sure doesn't produce that.

We are at the half way point on our first cross country trip (WI to CA). 2200 miles miles pulling our 33' 5th Wheel RV (about 13Klbs). Averaged 10 mpg going 63 to 65 mph. This includes going up and over the Rockies at Donner's Pass. (8.5 mpg going up and 17.8 mpg going down). Was and effortless trip both cross country and up/down the mountains. I get lots of compliments about the F250.

Not sure what to tell you. I get better mileage than you do on the highway in stop and go city driving. Maybe driving style, altitude, fuel, etc.

Likewise. On a 2800 mile trip from Jax to Cape Cod and back I got a little over 20 on a couple of tanks. I don't try to do it. It just happens. Maybe it's the tonneau cover. I have 20" Michelins w/ 62-64 psi.

Sam,
With cruise set to 62 mph I average over 20 mpg on level roads when not towing. When towing a 14000 lb 5th wheel I get 10.5 mpg. 2017 F350 PS CCSB 4x4.
What's interesting is everyone (including me) seems to get the same MPG towing (10 +/-) but unloaded mileage goes from 16 -20.
My unloaded mileage is 16-18. Could be the altitude, as I live at 5200 Ft, most time driving is around 4,400 Ft.
