Mileage while towing 5th toyhauler?
We wondered if any of you could tell us what kind of mileage you're getting with a one ton pickup truck dually pulling a 38' or 40' fifth wheel toyhauler?

I've got a 2007 F-350 6.0 diesel/dually with the Banks intake and 5" exhaust. Pulling my 40', 14,700 lb 5th on the flats with no head wind I get 11-12 mpg. On hills and/or with a head wind I get 9 - 10 mpg. That is at 62 mph. average. For every 5 mph over 62 I get 1.5 mpg less empty or loaded. I have the 410 gears with a 5 speed trans so if you get 373 gears with a 6 speed trans you may do better.

When we towed our 38 foot toy hauler 5ver with my 2005 Chevy Duramax 2500 HD single rear wheel with an Edge chip, if I behaved we could get up to 11, maybe 12. Most times we got around 10 unless in the hills then it would drop just below 9.

mileage
41-foot Cyclone, loaded, no water, 60 mph, '08 F-450 CC 4X4 w/ 4.88 gears, auto, BlackMaxx Tune, no rabbit starts: 7.7 to 8.1 mpg. Handles like a dream...anywhere, anytime. IF I were going to complain about the mileage, guess I should sell it! I make up any difference in $$ spent versus others is simple: Stay @ WalMart one night out of many. State Parks are half price at my age and awesome. Mileage with these toys is relative.

Pulling the led sled, at 27.5k, Yesterday, I was making just at 10.6, cruising 60-62 mph. Now, I do have an Edge tuner, straight exhaust, and airbox to help it out.
All things considered, i wasn't unhappy with that at all.

Your speed will affect the mpg. for every 3 mph faster I pull I loose .5 mpg. I find keeping the rpm's under 2100 gives me good millage.
