On the highway I got anywhere from 15-19 depending on how and where I was going. I live in TX and speed limits are 75. Running 75/80 I got around 15/16.
The last two sentences with mpg were without towing.

I have the same setup and I keep it in 4 with tow haul on and don't have a problem. I'm towing a 7k trailer with 4 people.

Take off slow and keep your foot out of it and it will do fine.

I did put air ride on the back and run about 15 lbs of air with a weight distribution hitch

Our last trip from Shreveport to Branson I got 10 mpg. Now I didn't run the Ac on the way up but keep it around 60 /65 since that's what my trailer tires are rated at.

I thought about doing a gear Change but I'm driving city and out and about that's it's not worth it at this time.
