Winter time driving in town with hubs locked all the time and often in 4x4: ~9mpg.
Summer time driving on highway with camper: 11-12mpg.
Putting my foot in it and enjoying that V-8 sound and dusting most others: ~8mpg.

my 2012 XL. 6.2L 2 wheel drive...

city 12-13
highway 15-18.
towing travel trailer..( 9,000 pounds ) 7 to 10.. mostly 9.. depending on head winds.

best mileage.... South Carolina to North Carolina and back.. 21.. but mostly 50 mph.. heavy but steady traffic. over 300 miles.

Superduty = Heavy and a aerodynamic Brick.. SO NO FUEL MILEAGE.... it is not a MINI... or a smart-car....
YES, this is 4:30 in the morning... been up at 3am.

Temperatures,tires and driving style have a big impact on mileage. If I baby it I’ll get 12 to 13 mpg in town and 16 or higher on the highway. Right now I’m at 11mpg getting on it a lot. I can get as much as 19 mpg on a long ride on rural roads going about 45 to 50 mph.

The 18 4X2 F350 Cab and Chassis with a 12 foot bed 3.73 gears gets 9-10 and my 13 F150 4X2 SCab 6.5 bed gets 13 with my little trailer and 15-16 all highway and 14 mixed, but it beats up on Hemi's so all is good.

Wow - that's much better highway mileage. It surprises me sometimes how going to F350 and dually impacts the mpg's so much.

2017 6.2 4.30 F250, average says 13.6 but always about .5mpg lower hand calculated. Almost all highway and gravel roads. Best I can do on highway is about 14, truck only has about 5,000 miles on it.

FUELLY App shows 13mpg even. 67%hiway/33%city. Average with daily and towing. Best tank in 6000+ miles is 15.5... worst 8.2....
Take 0.5mpg off what the truck is estimating usually puts me right close to actual.

Thumbs up

Our 2017 F350 6.2 3.73 4x2’s lifetime average over 18K miles was 12.0 mpg. This includes hauling our slide-in camper ~4300 miles, and towing a rental travel trailer ~2300 miles. Full disclosures: I typically use 89-90 AKI gas when hauling or towing.
