Where did you get the idea that 5ers get worse fuel mileage?

Experience. The primary cause is wind resistance.
My current 5er is 13 ft tall, the additional 2 ft in height dropped the MPG by 2.
Does your owners manual have a section on frontal area under towing? I know my F250 with a 460 and a C6 did, not to exceed.
I looked and looked in my Ram Cummins owners manual for the same limit, could not find one. :B
I will say the Cummins12V98, got his 2011 down to 5 MPG doing 75, into a 40 mph head wind!
