Took off from Eastern Washington in my 2017 Ram Cummins 2500 pulling a wildcat maxx 28rkx probably weighing close to 10k, its about 8k dry. Man that truck pulls that trailer good. On flat stretches I would put in 6th gear and let it go and on hills or passes would lock in 5th and it just straight pulls. Even had to make a pitstop in Havre Montana to pick up two combine tires for my cousin which probably weighed 700 pounds or so, so I had a pretty good load. I never did hand calculated mileage but computer said overall for the 2400 miles was 12.7mpg. Glad I wasnt making that trip with the 6.4 hemi i traded in for the cummins.

We spent the last couple weeks of August doing a similar trip, about 2300 miles from western WA through ID, MT, WY (Yellowstone/Grand Teton), and back through ID, and OR. Pulling a 7500lb trailer with a 2016 Duramax 2500 loaded with family, generator, Kayaks, etc. Computer calculated 12.7 MPG for that whole trip as well. I felt the same way you did...so happy I wasn't using my previous Silverado 1/2 ton 5.3 gasser!
