I have a 2009 cc ram box with hemi with 252,000 miles on clock and tow 33 ft TT. 7200 lbs on scales. On a good day I'm 8 mpg.on a stiff windy day 6 mpg. I use my truck for work . Do 40-45,000 miles a yr.
I'm going to look at the eco diesel. Max towing is 9400 lbs .Max mpg is 28-30
I've done the math when disel was 4.50 a gallon and gas was 3.75 a gallon. In 2 yrs it will pay for it self.
It will never work. You'll be lucky to break 1,000 pounds payload, and your trailer at 7200 gross must have close to that in tongue weight. Unless you plan to drive the truck via remote control.
