6500 Mile mountain trip towing 3200lb camper

[Patriot68]

Just returned home after a 5 week trip to Yellowstone NP from Michigan. 2025 Maverick XLT Eco boost (with 4k package of course)towing a 2026 Rpod171 travel trailer that was 3200lb fully loaded. Pulled it on numerous slopes of 7%+ for extended periods both uphill and down. Crossed continental divide numerous times. Truck had zero issues handling any of it. Took it all over Yellowstone, Tetons, Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, and more. Averaged about 15-16 mpg in the mountains while towing while 18-19mpg between Michigan and Nebraska. Only nervous moments we had were dealing with some Wyoming crosswinds around the Cheyenne area that were gusting to 40-50mph and they closed the highway. Extremely happy.
