In the almost fifteen years I've owned it,I can expect 21-23 unloaded, 17-18 with a car and trailer, and 14-15 with the 27' Airstream.
Not sure how the newer trucks compare to mine, my brother hasn't gotten better than 17 with his 2009 F-350 quad cab 4wd.
It's not just the mileage, it's the torque that makes the diesel so great when towing.

Hey Jim --- do you think that camper on the back helped your fuel economy when you were towing cars?
