How much difference in fuel MPG`S have you had with a bumper pull compared to the large wind resistance of a fiver? I have noticed a high fuel consumption in a head wind. Is it streamlining or lack ...

my experience was similar to a couple. towing the old travel trailer (29 foot, 7500 lbs) with my 99 7.3I got about 11.4 mpg. same truck on month later with a new 38 foot 5th 11500 lbs I got 15.7 mpg. exact same trip route.
as mentioned the more aero dynamic front end of the 5th and being closer to the truck cab makes only one drag zone instead of two with the typical travel trailer.
