I have a 2006 F 150 2wd extended cab with the 5.4l, 3.73 rear, 265/75 highway tires, edge programmer and volant cold air intake. (Not heavily tuned at all) no trailer = solid 18 mpg at 70-75mph on I-49, 16 in town. 10 mpg pulling up to 18' boat at 65mph. Big camper = 5-6 mpg at 50-55.
Think of it this way, transmission, torque and gearing is everything in the towing world. Not HP.
