1st pull with the 2018 SD XLT

Did our first pull with taking our 29 ft TT down to Houma, La. The F250 did very well.
Travel time took about 1 hour and half, roughly 65 miles, through mostly back roads with a pull over the Mississippi River bridge at Reserve.
Averaged 10.1 MPG, which I think is very good. TT was empty at about 7000 lbs. Kept our speed at 50-55 miles per hour.
Very happy with the results.

Excellent. 10 mpg is pretty good. I get 8-9 pulling our 38 ft. 10k TT at 65. With a 2017 6.2 4.30 gear combo. The 6.2 is nice music. Nice setup. Great choice in color too. I have the same.
