Behavior of turbocharged engines when towing
My 2013 Tacoma's normally-aspirated 4.0L V6 gets around 20 mpg driving around town and 13 mpg when towing, a decrease of about a third. This seems reasonable. I'm curious about the difference when towing with the turbocharged V6 engines that are popular now in the F-150 and other newer tow vehicles. Anyone have any data to share?
