Guess my mileage!
This holiday season I will be doing some traveling. 2400 miles, average speed limit will be 70 mph!
Originally it was going to be just a truck load with a softopper on it.
My last truck, with a soft tri-folding cover from Ford (Same configuration, Ecoboost, SCrew, blah blah blah) would get 19 mpg on this trip. This one has a soft topper which is much like a canvas truck cap.
I will have two adults, two small children, 3 golden retrievers, and enough gear for 12 days (just luggage and kid stuff, not camping).
But now, I will be pulling my small 4x6, 14" wheel, flat bed trailer because we are taking some stuff to MI and then hauling some stuff back to NC.
I am sure I won't be over 1500lbs total with trailer pulling. It will be a low load and tarped front to back. I may take the rear off just for wind resistance reduction as I won't need it.
So vote on what you think my mileage will be.
Winner get a full body shot of me
Teasing, nobody wants that!

I am also doing about 2000 miles in a ecoboost with 3.55 rears. Hoping for 19 average. Going from TN-GA-MD-TN. Best of luck with MPG.
