Benefit of extra fuel tank.
I just went 1237 miles between fuel stops. I towed for about 600 hundred of those miles. I've got an extra 90 gallons in the truck bed. With rising fuel prices it's nice to avoid the gas station.

I was bucking a big head wind yesterday towing and managed to get 6.5 mpg. Barely made it to my usual fuel stop. I filled 31 gallons in a 32 gallon tank.
The 2005 Ford V10 got 6.5 once time pulling in a headwind and pulling the same trailer in a headwind, the 2019 Ram HO diesel got 6.5. The only downside is that Ram's mpg is more sensitive to headwinds and sidewinds. The upside to the Ford is that it has a 36 gallon tank. The Ram is a wimpy 32 so the distance between fuel stops is about the same as the Ford V10 because the fuel mileage of the Ram is only a little better than the Ford pulling the same trailer.
You towing 34k combined with a 13’ 4” high and 102” wide RV?
