My Dodge dealer must have been sold out of the trucks thats get 17-18 mpg towing 35' fifth wheels.

My truck only gets between 10-11 towing my 33' fifth wheel.

Empty at 60mph I get 19-20. At 70 it drops down to 17.

Yes, they must have been sold out about two years ago, JustLabs. I understand all the newer Dodges have a lot more air-pollution******on them that sucks down the fuel.

Maybe for once, older is a bit better.

Wish I knew which was gas and which was diesel engines - that would help me out considerable.

Since OP has a diesel, I assumed only interest was in knowing about diesels.
