greekdrifter Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have a 2006 Dodge 3500 with 290k and Im going to put on 30k more towing across the country this year with no worries. I get about 11mpg towing out west to Cali due to the headwind and about 14 on the way back. 10k enclosed trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 My 80 454 Dually was getting 8 mpg whether it was loaded or not, Then again it was on 33's, and had 5.13's, and a TH400. It would pull a house off it's foundation but was screaming at 65 for mercy. Trailer, Car and tools weighed in around 9000lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
