Got it, thanks! Actually, in my previous post I said something thats not correct about the mpg I get from my Laramie Ram. When I am not towing anything and I am gently on the gas pedal my mpg on the road is about 19. That number drops to 14 when I am towing and/or I drive more "enthusiastically".

Most trucks are similar in this class IMO..
I get 19 highway light on gas 65 mph. 13-14 combo, errands, etc
My trip from nj to florida( disney) and back with camper, fully loaded, I averaged 8.75 mpg.. 6000bs
This was 75-80 mph though..
When traveling and trying to put on miles 65 mph dont cut it!!!!
