- It_s_MeExplorerI 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 have to have a pickup. We need quality, room, comfort, ability to tow something larger later. I prefer Toyota products from years of owning GM, Dodge, and Toyota. This may be the last vehicle I ever buy.
I'd like to know real world mpg figures. Can I reasonably expect 12-13mpg towing a slippery, 68" wide, single axle fiberglass 3,000 pound trailer? - HannibalExplorer

- esjayExplorerI will only be pulling about 3,000 pounds at 60-65 mph, usually on fairly level roads. What can I expect?

- HondavalkExplorer IIPulling 7800lbs and getting a solid 9mpg.
- scbwrExplorer III'm pulling 6200 lbs. with another 100 lbs. or so in bed and have been getting between 9 to 10 miles per gallon. We just got the new Winnebago this past summer, so we haven't made that many trips so far, and they have traveled mostly around the hilly countryside here in Ohio.
