Boat is about 2000# dry, but has a bit wind-catching profile (it's a pontoon). Result was 11.5 MPG for the trip running premium, not great but no surprise either. At one point we dropped the boat and took on two more people; drove 250 miles with six people and the dog and got 23 MPG, which was great.Alphax wrote:

I know MPG isn’t all that great but what is your “real world” gas mileage like?(v6)
The truck towed well. Plenty of power and brakes were up to the job. I'd add air bags if we were towing often but it's likely only a couple of times a year as we otherwise pull with a qua-cab Ram 2500 diesel 4x4 (getting about the same mileage!).
