5.0 mpg while towing 5000lbs
Towing 5000 lbs. what should i expect for mpg? Speed 60-65
Thank you, |
I know this doesn't help, but unless you tow everyday I wouldn't get too wrapped up with owing MPG's.
I would personally rather get 8-10 MPG's when towing, and have all the power I need doing it, than to have 25 MPG's towing but no power at all doing it. |
Not a 5.0. But my Eco got 10-13 mpg towing my 5k lb boat with double axle trailer. I was going 70-72 and had wind and hills being in Midwest (always windy her). Your 5.0 should be similar. If you have lower profile trailer maybe 1-2 mpg better. Higher 1-2 mpg worse...
Hope this helps |

I just pulled an 20 ft enclosed trailer loaded down with four wheelers, corn, hunting gear etc all the way from n ga to Kansas. Did most of it on cruise around 65-70 while on the interstates. 13.8 for me. Love the new tune on my truck

I tow a 4300 lbs camping trailer. I get anything from 9mpg (strong head wind), to 14mpg (tail wind). no HUGE, long hills, but not 100% flat ither. Highway 401 in Ontario

Used our '11 FX4, 5.0L to haul an 06 Mustang up & down a bunch of hills at a max of 62 MPH (CA towing laws) and averaged 13.5 MPG over all. No shortage of power.
