mpg and weights for a 6.7 2011 Ford and DRV 5th wheel
Just a report:
We have a 2011 6.7 F-350 Supercab Dually that weighs 9,000 lbs. This includes one person, two Honda 2000 generators, the Husky 5th wheel hitch and a tool box at least half-full of "stuff." Our 2011 36' DRV Mobile Suites, lightly loaded with nothing in holding tanks, weighs 16,000 lbs.
The main point is that we are about 5,000 lbs under the maximum weight (truck plus trailer) recommended by Ford.
This compares to being 1,000 to 3,000 lbs over the recommended weight with the 2005 Mobile Suites and 2005 Ford F-350 Supercab 6.0 diesel dually.
In terms of fuel use, it is quite possible to attain over 10 mpg--even 11 mpg. However, I cannot give a more accurate figure for a typical road trip yet, because of the mountains we have encountered in our first trip--from Estes Park to the Grand Canyon and back. (We did attain 10.8 mpg on that trip.) Of course, besides terrain, the weight, the rear-end gear ratio, the wind and mph speed are big factors that influence mpg.
