Don't let some of these numbers fool you. You will see it once you purchase it. The EVIC numbers are consistently higher by about 2-3 mpg, so don't believe it. Hand calculation is the best way.
Towing depends on how much foot you put in it on take off, speed on going down the road, cruise or no cruise, weight, head winds, tail winds, etc. etc.
I have a 2013 Ram 3500 Dually CC longbed automatic w/3:42 gears. I have 8200 miles on it and can admit by hand calculating on 2 trips with a weight ticket from a truck stop that my 19,460 lbs. of gross weight got me 10.7 and 10.3 mpg on about 95% highway roads at 68 mph using cruise control. I do not use this for grocery getting so my in town is not valid and I only drive 2.6 miles to work each day.
My next big trip is to Florida with about 600 lbs. less due to missing the golf cart but will have generators, wood, etc. etc..
You will enjoy the truck, you will find the sweet spot when cruising with your camper and will settle with what it will give you. Real world numbers from probably the best person that I know personaly is located over on www.cumminsforum.com - look up GSBrockman for his 36,000 miles of hand calculated numbers from being on the road with all different types of weights and towing units. Campers, enclosed trailers, portable bathrooms, tractors, etc. etc. and yes - even cruising unloaded.
Good luck and enjoy your trucka s this is my 4th one. The last one had 238,000 milers on it - 2005 5.9 undestructable Cummins.
