Holy cow, thats not pretty good, that's borderline amazing! My 5.7 Tundra got about 7.5 towing my 32 foot 9500 lbs trailer. My 2015 Cummins gets about 12.5 towing the same trailer. Now, I tow at about 68 mph, but even going 64 doesn't get me more than about .5 mpg better.

Yes that is good mileage, what gears do you have? Was that all flat land?

Western sierras. Coming from Los Angeles area. Climbing up 5 mile hill in lake castaic. I think it was more like 10 miles to the gallon. I only have 3.73 gears. But im still pretty impressed.

Nice, thanks for the report. I have the 3.73s also, so that's good to hear she pulled strong in the mountains. Good stuff
