My Ford gets 14.4 around town -- and it gets a flat 10 MPG when towing whether the trailer is empty or full. It's an automatic -- stock size tires -
not lifted - but I did do the Talon Suspension System on the rear. I am
running 4:10 gears.
only in the fact if I wanted 10 mpg or less i would have just stayed with the bbc. I just ran first 100 miles in the truck and hand calc'd it at 14.3 bone stock. I would like 14-15 towing light loads and 18-20 empty would make me happy. I am sure a 38 foot enclosed behind it would be less
