Impact of Lighter, Alum. F150 on Towing

I hope the reduced weight will save fuel. Drivers of the Ram Ecodiesel are claiming every bit as good fuel economy as drivers of the Jeep Grand Cherokee with the same powertrain. I am sure there is probably 500 lbs more weight with the Ram. I know when I carry my Quad and some gear in my Ford F150 Ecoboost it adds 700 lbs weight. Yet my fuel economy is no different than when I run with an empty truck.
