I get 9 - 10 towing and 14- 16 not towing. Speed varies. I use the tac mostly as my speed guide. Between 2000 and 2200 RPMs seems to get the best mileage in towing gear. In overdrive, on flat roads I try for 1800 to 2000 rpms.

8 towing 13 not. Gasser but it runs good on regular gas which is much cheaper(50 cents) than diesel. Looking at the numbers I'm not that far off when towing and that's all I use the truck for.If it was an everyday driver it would need to be a diesel to get that 20mpg.My 5er is 40' and wieghs about 13,000lbs as I have it loaded.
