What gas mileage are you getting towing and how much weight are you pulling?

I tow a 36 foot KZ Durango at around 8,300lbs. I get between 8 - 9 towing and 17 empty. I am doubtful you can achieve double digits as the aerodynamics affect mpg more than anything else.
I've got a similar setup but it's the V-Hull Windjammer that helps a lot with aerodynamics. I'm at about 8,000+ lbs and get 9+ mpg and can get 10.9 mpg on long stretches on the flats. I count on getting around 9 most of time. Not towing I get around 13.5 combined day in, day out over the long haul with lots of stop and go city driving. You can easily get 17-18 mpg on long trips on the highway on level ground. Much of your mpg with the 5.7 Tundra depends on how hard you put your foot in it.
If mpg is your big concern, take a look at the new Silverado with the 5.3. Very good truck, though not the tow beast the Tundra is.
