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

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.
