Default 2012 ecoboost towing review

So this weekend I took a friends trailer to the cottage, 3 hour drive up the 401( Uxbridge to Kingston) my truck is a super cab with max tow, trailer is a 18' cargo trailer( steel) that's been re-unforced on the floor and back door to handle his sweeper machine, But for this trip we had 3 snowmobiles, 2 apex and 1 phazer, Filled up with gas, and was on my way, The truck pulled very well, No lack of power, I cruised at 110 on the way there and got 25.8 l/per100, And on the way back cruised at 120 and got 27l/100, Then found a bus and drafted and got it down to 25L/100 at 115km/h, This is also on a 89 octane tune from unleashed tuning, Haven't really tested much towing with my summer landscape trailer, but should be better than that as its open air and more aero dynamic,

You really caught my eye when you said you cruised at 110. Then I noticed its metric. That's still pretty fast, almost 70 mph. I hope the roads weren't as snowy as your photo.
