Re: 8-9 MPG while towing - expected better
Mine is 2WD standard cab and 8ft bed. Your 4WD drops the mileage a bit.
I have the exact same truck, F250 V10. I get in the 11-12 mpg range unloaded. Towing a 25' boat (maybe 6500 lbs or so) I got 9-10. Towing my car on the trailer (4500-5000 lbs) I get right around 10.
