So we're already thinking of trading our new toyhauler and since I'm on the upper limits of my 2500 already I'm truck shopping again.

Towing around 70 mph I usually get around a 9 mpg average with my 3.42's in all types of terrain. I'm looking at a 2018 dually with the Aisin and 4.10's. I can't imagine it getting worse, but will it ? Right now I'm only towing around 14K lbs, but that could go up considerably real soon.

Just curious on what to expect different between the two trucks from those that might have had both at one time.

Your empty mileage will take a hit, but I doubt your towing mileage will be much different. Maybe some depending on how much weight you're adding but not enough to make any financial difference relative to what you'll be spending trading for a new truck and toy hauler.

Yea I knew I'd take a hit empty, man the 3.42's are sweet for long distance empty, averaged over 20 mpg on a trip to Fla once. My boys race every weekend now so it's become a dedicated tow vehicle, literally sits all week.
