18 mpg Dodge while towing?
Friend claims 18 mpg while towing 35' toy hauler with 2003 Dodge Cummins Diesel with manual transmission. He says he never goes over 55 mph. Is he for real?

My stock 2010 F150 pulling my 4000lbs loaded off-road POPUP trailer will make my 429 mile trip from King George VA to Gatlinburg TN on one tank of gas. This is a totally different situation however with almost ZERO wind load from the POPUP trailer. Actually when we go without the trailer we almost do the same thing haha...
I will Gas up when we hit NEWPORT TN and head on in to ELKMONT CAMP in the Smoky Mtn Natl Park. Run around town for three to four days and use maybe a half a tank. Then Gas up again at Newport TN for the return trip back to King George... Thats in the 19-21 MPG I'm guessing - Never really calculated it...
When my son-in-law follows us down with his older 2004 Dodge Truck pulling about the same weight with his high wall POPUP trailer doesn't do as good as my F150 does.
