I have a 99 crew cab F350 V10 dually with a contractor bed, truck weighs 8200lbs every day and I tow my 42' open trailer with 3 cars on it and get about 11mpg so his 13 is believable to me. Enclosed trailers are horrible on gas which is why I bought the open. I've towed a 27' enclosed trailer with one of our GTR's in it to LA and Miami and I've towed my 42' trailer all over and it weighs about 13000lbs loaded and I have no issues holding 75 all day on the highway, up hills or not. It hasn't been expensive to maintain either. I rebuilt the tranny at 160k and its sitting just under 200k right now with no problems at all and only goes through about .5qt of oil between changes and its loaded with a trailer 80% of the time its running.Originally Posted by NevrNufTorq
