I think if you get a lot of replies you’re going to see a pattern of 9-11mpg towing. Wind resistance on the TT is key; length and weight have less affect. Weight becomes more of an issue if you spend much time climbing mountain grades. Half tons pull similar TT’s all the time with no ill effects, unless that era Silverado is noted for weak transmissions. jerem0621’s suggestion of changing out the gears is another cheaper option to replacing the vehicle.
