Sure. My 2021 F-250 gets,

- 18-19 mpg unloaded running in the 65-75 mph range
- 13-15 towing depending on which trailer I am pulling

These number are actual i.e. doing the math at fill ups. Although I have adjusted the Lie-O-Meter to be very close.

As a comparison, my 2018 F-150 (5.0 V8, 10 speed) got 8-9 mpg when pulling my 4000# boat. I am still putting a 40 gal aux tank in the F-250. That will give me 79 total gallons.

As a side note, my 2018 F-150 transmission crapped out on me twice. Left me stranded on the side of I-10. A dealer took it on trade since it was still under warranty. I was at that dealership yesterday and they told me they sold the F-150 at auction.

Wow! Either they could not fix it or could not get a transmission.

When towing my 25 AS's towing with my Echoboost F150 Platinum 4x4 used to get 9-11mpg typically, depending on mountains at 65+mph. My 6.7L F250 with my 28' AS I get 12.7-13.3, depending on 65+MPH and mountain driving...not unusual to see 11+ MPG starting out on a trip, but it will end up between high 12's and 13. I can get 13+ if I keep it around 60...but I have trouble with that speed with traffic and distance of our trips...I try not to go beyond 350 miles a day, but sometimes....
