Best I've ever gotten empty is 16 MPG, but 14-15 MPG is more the usual with my two 7.3s. My old 6.9 is worse, but it only has a C6 with no OD. I always figured a standard shift would do better, but I've never had one in a Ford. And, with the Dodge-Cummins, I've never had one with automatic - just the Gertrag five-speed.
Both my 7.3s get 11-12 MPG when pulling a moderate sized trailer. That's not too bad. My only gripe with my Fords is the empty mileage. Seems when I drive somewhere just to pick up two sheets of plywood, I ought to get 20 MPG instead of 14-16 MPG. I'll add though that all my trucks are 4WD and extended cab with full length boxes. I assume a standard cab, 2WD would do better.
I've got an 82 Chevy K10 with a 6.2 diesel and four-speed manual overdrive along with 3.08 axles. Absolutely useless for towing, but . . it gets 23-24 MPG on the highway with a light load.

I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
