Towing questions
Hello all. New to this site. I have a 2013 F-250 power stroke crew cab lariat, fully deleted with 5" exhaust from downpipe back, S&B cold air intake, H&M mini maxx. I'll be pulling a 2013 Lacrosse Luxury Lite (32 ft.) camper, dry weight around 8000 lbs. Getting ready to go on a 1800 mile round trip from Illinois to Savannah GA. I'll have 4 people in the truck and approximately 1k lbs. extra weight in cargo. So here are my questions. What setting should I run my tuner on? What fuel mileage should I expect? Are there any tips anyone has that might help out for this trip? I appreciate any help.

Probably around 10MPG I would guess. I tow a 7800 dry/9500 wet camper with my 03 Excursion diesel and get around 10 towing with a 50 HP tow tune on it from 5 star. Dont be like most morons. Keep it around 65 to 68 MPH max...

Tow tune if you have one. Or one of the lower power levels.
Your MPG will depend heavily on your speed. If you're not in a hurry, just drive 60-65. Or even 55. But don't slow down traffic if your on a 2 lane. That's just inconsiderate.
