Diesel Truck MPG
Do you guys know what would be the best MPG Diesel Truck to pull my 2012 26 Foot Fifth Wheel (7,580 lbs). Thanks for your help.

Everybody will get a little different mileage. I live in the Texas Panhandle, and pull to South Fork Co. for the summer. Going up I get poor mileage due to 2 things. We are constantly gaining altitude, and late May there is usually wind. Wind is a killer on pulling as well as solo. I was surprised at how much altitude would affect the truck's mileage. Yesterday I was solo and drove from Southfork to Monte Vista to go to church. The 6.7 was making 22.0 mpg. A 40 mile trip. Coming back gaining altitude again with a wind against me, I was making about 16. Just can't come out and say this is what they will make. Get the truck you really like with the trailer you like that will match your trailer, and enjoy regardless of the mileage.
