Realilistic mileage with a fifthwheel.
Just curious what kind of fuel mileage I can expect with a fifth-wheel. 1ton 4x4 duramax srw 36 Ft. 13Klbs fifth-wheel. I realize weather, road conditions whether it is flat or hills or mountains ...

Yep. 8-10 no matter what you are towing.
You must do all your towing at 70+, my 01 Ram gets 10 to 12 towing close to 12k. I would not expect much of a change going to a newer Ram.
Agree. I was getting about 11 MPG towing a fiver close to the weight of yours. using a 2007 3500 Ram one ton with 6 spd stick shift, SRW, forget the rear ratio, but it was under 4.0. That mileage includes all kinds of terrain. I was also a pretty conservative driver, usually cruising at about 60 MPH.
