Gotta hook up the sway control - some say that helps with fuel.
I don't think that will help with fuel economy, that is all about safety while towing.
Try a trip at 60-65 mph maximum, and see how the fuel economy is. And 6,000rpm? That's got to be close to the engines redline... I would suggest trying to avoid that. Plan on going slower up the hills, don't try to maintain cruising speed.
Fuel economy is never great when towing a big box.
I questioned it too. Some say that because a trailer sways slightly it causes enough drag that it effects fuel economy. But yeah for sure it will make for a safer tip none the less.
