Mine will get about 13.5 to 14 MPG on the highway, 9-11 towing, but that
was towing about 6000 pounds, and as much as 2 tons on the ruck itself.

I have the lighter 1500 version, 5.2, 5 spd. It gets over 17 unloaded on the highway and around 15 running about town.

I pull a 7000# travel trailer and with favorable wind I can get over 12. Usual is a bit over 10 but a head wind on steep grades brings me down to 8. I am now parked in the Ozarks for the summer.
