Should be pretty comparable to a 3/4 ton big 3 on the MPG and power front. I would guesstimate 11-14 mixed depending on the driver.
15-16 mpg on the highway

That would be my guess too. A 3.5L EcoB HD would do better, plus you would have the boost at high altitudes.
On the other hand, the truck wouldn't have the additional stability of all that weight, nor, I imagine, the engine braking of the Nissan's V8.
I'm not so sure on the 3.5 Ecoboost HD doing better. I had the Max Tow package and because of the terrain I live in (not flat as glass roads) I was constantly in boost. Over the 10,000 miles I owned that truck my average combined fuel mileage was 14.xx. It was pretty comparable to many of the other gas V8's I drove. But I did have the 3.73, 6'5" bed with a CC setup. I'm sure someone will chime in who gets 18mpg, but in my experience when used as a truck they seem to all fall in line within 1-2 MPG of one another, with the exception of the diesel variants.
