I own a 2004 ford excursion 2wd diesel limited and I have 118,624 miles on it. I am the 2nd owner and i have towed a 26 foot ski boat weighing in at 8,000 lbs about and was doing 86 mph and was getting 19.6 mpg. my city mileage is 16-18 mpg driving my truck hard in a 40 mph speed zone. my highway mileage is 19-27 mpg doing a range of speed between 60-97 mph(27 mpg was achieved doing 62 mph with no passengers or cargo and wind was 0 mph).the 2 biggest objects ive ever pulled with this truck was a 60 foot fema trailer that looks like a mobile home 25 mph and transported it 6 miles. it performed very well with such weight behind it and plenty of power still with the trailer, and great braking power too. the second object ive towed was a 2003 gmc 30 foot dump truck with duel axles on it and we did 38 mph on the highway and were getting 11 mpg pulling a truck thats in the 20,000 lbs class. we pulled it with 3 heavy duty tow straps for a distance of 52 miles. the truck has had 1 thing break on it and it was a hole in the turbo exhust pipe which was an easy fix. i also used the truck during the cleaning up of hurricane katrinas mess and it was the perfect truck to get to those houses with 1 foot of mud in their streets. i also use the truck to drive to and from california during the summer and it is a great truck for long trips. over all i love this truck and it has out performed my chevy suburban i had previously owned in every thing i do. also i paid $16,500 for it. what a steal! hope this information helps u out.

"REAL" MPG numbers from a diesel truck/SUV is an oxymoron.
I'm not sure it's possible as evidenced from your 1st response.
