Thanks to all----- This gives me an idea as to what to expect.
For note, the trailer I tow is a Outdoor 24RKS that grosses out at 9995 lbs.
It looks like I could expect about 10 to 12 MPG towing.
The last diesel I had was a Ford 6.0. It usually only went to and from the dealer for repairs, with an occasional camp trip squeezed in between. I've bypassed deisels since then, but the truck shortage has me peeking at them.
Well whatever you do, don’t drive a new diesel of any flavor unless you brought your checkbook and are ready to use it. You’ll go from peeking at it to taking selfies and posting about the big boner you have while driving something that would pull your old 6leaker WITH the trailer hooked up to it better than the old truck drove home from the dealer empty after the 6th or 9th cab removal! Lol.
