Anyone tow a camper with their new Ford 5.0?

[Sigma]

Just wondering what size it was and what it did as far as MPG?

according to the 1000's of posts....I thought the ONLY engine Ford has is that dagnabit Eco-boost thingy

My son has a 1992 F100 stepside with the 5.0 that will pull the doors off a camper. Your new one should do real good.

You sure he doest have the 351? My 95 5.0 wouldnt pull my head out of my --- The new 5.0 pulls the boat fine but mileage dropped to 15 so really wondering what a comper is going to do. I think it does better the sooner I get up to cruse speed and not slowly get there.

302....5.0 I used it for a spell while my old truck was down. He really thinks it can outrun my 2009 Chebby...

Haven't pulled a camper, but I'm averaging around 15 in the summer when I've got the boat behind my 2011 F-150 with the new 5.0.

What did the vibration problem end up being?

Pulled many a mile with the old 302.

Expect 8-10 MPG pulling a RV.

Found some other info and so far looks like 10.2 mpg Ouch!!!!!!

When you hook up a RV is when the oil burners shine. Frontal area alone is a bear pulling one down the interstate.

What would an oil burner get like a f-250 or chevy?

I pull a 34ft camper that weighs right 10K loaded with my 2011 Silverado 1500 5.3 and got 9-10 mpg. I will pulling it 150 miles tomorrow for the first time with the 6.2 and I expect the same mileage. Your Ford should get right at the same as the Silverado.
