Fuel Mileage 2017 Ram 3500
Just upgraded from chevy 6.0 to a 2017 Ram 3500 SRW CTD. Already impressed with the 20 mpg on the highway. What should I expect towing a 9-10k pound 36 ft travel trailer in terms of mpg?

The rule of thumb is 60% of solo (where climate, terrain, speed and driver skill are same).
Square box trailers, with tall floor heights (from ground; due to slides) I wouldn't guess much more than 50%.
FWIW, these trucks when solo hit a wall at 60-mph due to aero.
In my first post I noted things to be checked. No need to give up mpg due to items that could be adjusted or repaired.
