I switched from a 1/2 ton to a 1 ton srw. I get pretty much the exact same mileage as Javi stated above. While pulling my old trailer my mileage dropped quite a bit from about 8 mpg, with the 1/2 ton, to about 12 mpg with the 1 ton. So the diesel will get you better mileage for sure if you want to compare apples to apples pulling the same trailer. Although the whole reason for the 1 ton was to get a bigger trailer so we stepped up to a 5th wheel that weighs almost twice that of the old one. Even with the extra size and weight of the new trailer I am still getting better mileage with the diesel, about 9 mpg, then the 1/2 ton was with the old trailer at 8 mpg.
Also definitely look at a 1 ton over a 3/4 ton regardless of the brand and especially if you see a 5th wheel anytime in your future. The 3/4 tons just don't have the payload to safely and legally handle most 5th wheels.
