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?

Average with a 8500# (64 sqft frontal) bumper-pull over 13K miles has been about 10.9 mpg.
EDIT: I rarely tow over 65 mph (just to pass).
