Your new trailer will give you the same mpg as your old trailer so long as both trailers are similar in height. There, details about your truck don't really matter so long as you keep the same truck.
I tow an equipement trailer with a tractor too. Whenever I tow anything other than an empty EQ trailer, mpg goes down to the same 12ish. Diesels don't get the excellent mpg when they're working.

You'll get the same mpg as your other trailer so long as both trailers are similar in frontal area and number of axles. Doesn't really matter what truck you have or the weight of the trailer.
Oh and I guess 10 mpg which is standard for gas.

i'll provide one data point:
- truck: 2010 tacoma 4 door, 4wd, v6, auto trans
- trailer: trailmanor 2719
average over a 6000 mile loop from tennessee to utah, wyoming, dakotas, etc, back to tennessee:
- overall 14.7 mpg overall, most at 68-72 mph
- this calculates to 1.2 gallons of gasoline/100 miles above what the truck uses without the trailer ( close to the trailmanor claim).
- non ethanol gas adds about 1 mpg
