first time pulling with my 15

I inherited a 46 John Deere b from my grandpa so we made the trip to south Dakota. Also had a pig feeder on the trailer for my dad, family of four "young kids" and luggage. 1000 mile trip one way averaged around 8 to 10 if I was lucky. Truck pulled better than any other gas motor I've had deff missed the power stroke. I'll try to get a pic

What kind of highway speeds were you doing? I haven't pulled with my 15 yet, but I have noticed that my mileage really dives at interstate speeds (70-75 mph).

Your 2015 sounds a lot like my 2012. When I tow our 21ft Pontoon I average 8.8mpg. Fuel economy and Power Wagon have never gone hand in hand. On the interstate once I go over 70mph it takes a dive. For me it's just a good thing I average less than 9,000 miles a year.

I was staying around 68-70. I've only had it a few months and have 4900 miles on it, if I pulled even light I'd be looking for another diesel. This trip had me feeling a little buyers remorse and didn't help that diesel was cheaper most the way there.
