Default Thinking about ecoboost

I'm seriously considering trading my 2011 Tundra double cab with rock warrior package in for a F-150 ecoboost. I love my Tundra but $600+ a month on gas is killing me. I figure if I could go from 10 mpg on the Tundra to even a modest 14 mpg on the EB I'd be ahead $200 a month. I believe my mileage is low on the Tundra because of the aggressive tires that come on the RW package, the two trailers I tow for work ( not a daily basis and gvw on trailers are 3000 and 7000), and driving it like I stole it. Sure love the power of the 5.7.
Just looking for some current EB owners opinion on mpg. I know it's a truck but 10 mpg is crazy.
Thanks in advance

I just picked my ecoboost up today - 4x4 extended cab
I averages 22.5 mpg for the 30 miles homes - 50% highway and 50% back roads.
I did take it real easy to see how it would do - I mean really really easy!
I managed 24.5 on the highway test drive.
