I pull a 36 footer (weights 11,500 empty) with a '05 Ford F250 6.0 Powerstroke. I average about 10 mpg. I want to get something newer--new enough to get a bit better mileage and to get integrated brake controller. (Mine is an add-on.) Is anyone able to get up in the 12 to 13 mpg range towing maybe 12,500 to 13,000 pounds? I know with each newer engine that mileage typically improves a bit. I probably can't afford new (2012) but want to get the newest that has mileage better than the 10 I am getting. Ideas anyone?
