I pulled this from Seattle,WA to Columbia,SC and I averaged about 9-11 mpg depending on what part of the country I was in. Out there through Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming it was around the 9 range. Once I got out of those mountain passes and the continental divide and got into souther Wyomin and western Nebraska, from there on in to Columbia I did much better. Your rear gear is gonna come in to play here too. I've got what I think is a 4:10 with 35" tires. I'll run about 70/75 at 2K rpm.

I have a 2005 Dodge DRW 4x4 3.73 gear and G-56 6speed pulling a 53' Take Three trailer hauler loaded anyware from 25000-35000lbs gross and average an IFTA quarterly 11.1 MPG, the lowest i've ever got towing was 8MPG and that was 34980lbs,bad head wind, and height of 13'8" up over the bed. Your not alone with your 6.4, I know of 2 trucks here in Michigan that the owners ended up suing Ford and getting them bought back under the lemon law,( more than just bad fuel milage)
