Midnight, I have some data about miles per gal and towing. Mainly since I have had the same truck listed below in 2003. I have had 2 truck campers. 1st wt 3400lb, 2nd 4400lb. Than several boats. Mainly current boat 3800lb, 2 axle trailer. Finally the current TT listed below. Since 2001 I have had a beach house to visit. Traveling with any of those listed on or behind the truck on the same route at about the same speed the mpg would always be around 12. Never much above or below. Not more than 1 mph difference. I say this because I did it for years and had the same vehicle to compare. You would think the boat would get much better, it's wt. is less and profile much smaller even with the windshield and top than the TT. And with the AF990 truck camper I was taller than the TT. Others maybe different but, that's what I found happened. Highway speeds 55-60 when towing almost all the time.
