F150 5.0 vs F250 6.2 for towing

Thanks for the reply. I can live with that. My 11' Silverado with a 5.3 would only get about 6 mpg towing at 70 mph

I had a 2008 5.3 GMC Sierra Crew Cab. I got around 8 mpg towing with it driving 60 to 65 mph. I never felt overly comfortable leaving it on cruise as it wanted to rev too high. It was a 7000 GVW truck.
