From Magnum Dodge to Triton ford to Vortec Chevy to Hemi to Coyote Ford to 6.2 Ford to new 5.3 Chevy, mileage is all 8-9 mpg +\- 1 when towing and sort of significant trailer.

Mfgs leave little on the table anymore. No carb or timing issues to help or tank mileage or power. Gas n go.
If you're worried about mileage towing whether it's 2x a year or 200x a year, drive slower, stay home or get a diesel.

Couldn’t agree more!

Gotta love the 15-20mpg towing guys!

Diesel is ok, but I want to make it to my destination without wondering when/where I will break down!

I don't know why you always bring up the diesel breaking down and leaving you stranded thing. I've owned diesels for nearly fifteen years including my 2013 truck that has the current emissions stuff on it and I don't worry at all about being stranded.

Same reason sidecar cr@ps on any vehicle that isn't his 1 or a kind 7.3 or unycorn 3500suburban. Phobia, old wives tales and /or pride of ownership.
