Default MPG towing 6,000 pounds

just curious on the MPG you guys are getting on towing.

Mainly interested in MPG on the highway with 5 or 6K behind you.

8.5 - 9.5 on the highway pulling 19ft toyhauler.

Aerodynamics seems to be the big killer on the highway, more than weight. Loaded or unloaded doesn't seem to make very much difference once up to speed on the interstate.

A lot of wind produced the 8.5 number.

Towed my Travel Trailer 3253 miles and got 11.5 average. The trailer weighs 5700lbs and I have a double cab 4X4 with 4 people in the cab. I even carried 6 cases of water, a 150lb generator, a bbq grill, 2 mountain bikes, clothes for 2 weeks, beer for two weeks and just about anything else you can think of for a trip to the Grand Canyon.

10mpg with 5k+ lbs of weight isn't bad at all!
