Would there be significant MPG savings when hauling a bed camper vs towing a trailer?
I plan on doing a lot of travelling either in a camper or a travel trailer. The benefits of hauling a camper is easier parking, and I could tow a tiny cargo trailer or motorcycle trailer at the same time. However if I tow a travel trailer I feel my fuel economy would really suffer. Do you think the fuel economy savings by hauling a bed camper would be significant?
I plan on getting a 2WD 4.6L
Thank you!

I don't think an F150 in any configuration could handle a bed camper and the associated gear and people in the cab let alone the added tongue weight of a trailer. Better look at an F250 at least. I wanted to do the same thing you're thinking of and the numbers did not add up. A toy hauler travel trailer is a better option with the 150.
