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.

I hope all you're planning on doing is just looking at it, and not putting your money down. There's no way to get a 3 liter motor to do the kind of work you need done currently... most eco diesels are lucky to get over 7000# tow rating in a crew cab and 4x4. I don't think it's enough truck to suit your purposes and needs, unless they've changed recently.
