Anyone towing with 2014 Grand Cherokee/Durango?

Is anyone here towing with the new 8 speed transmission in a Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Dodge Durango? If so, please let me know your opinion and experiences, including which engine and what size trail...

We just bought a 2014 Grand Cherokee ecodiesel to replace our 2008 Grand Cherokee with the 3.0 liter CRD. I haven't had a chance to tow our RV yet, but unloaded mileage on our regular commute went up from about 21.5 MPG to 25.9 MPG.

With the 2008, towing our RV along flat freeways was about 12 MPG compared to 8 MPG with our 2002 Durango and the same RV.
