Milage towing 4600lb trailer w/5.7 2011 QC 1500

[James_in_Utah]

Just got home. Not a useless comment. I warned my wife about it today on the way home. To get 60 mph, I have to set my speedometer at 57. Oh well. On the last leg home I was able to get 11.1 mpg, taking it pretty easy, drafting a semi for a while, and holding the speed down to 60. I was hoping 1500 would do better pulling the trailer than my Dakota did, but I guess that's not the case. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten 12-13 on that stretch with the Dak. It's just weird that the 1500 seems to get better mileage than my Dakota did when not pulling, and a little worse when pulling.
