When time comes I want to go 3/4 tone due to bs state tax and insurance . How much better is your mpg with the 1 tonne . I hope I can have as much space as a crewmax.
If the question was for me... My 1-ton is a 2011 CC LB and curb weight is roughly 8400 lbs. Towing mpg is a pretty solid 12 with 4 average people, two small dogs, some payload in the bed and aprrox loaded TT weight of 9100lbs. If I'm primarily towing in the mtns and in a hurry and with my 850lbs ATV in the bed, it can drop a bit to 11 or maybe even 10. I will state I have put Endurance shoes on the trailer and can be doing 70mph, so if you stay at 65, you will get better mpgs.
If you're talking unloaded, I get a solid 18 mpgs and that is going up and down 2000' elevation 85% of the time. If I were a flatlander, I can see getting 19 or maybe even 20, but I keep up with traffic. As always, less boost = better mpgs.
