towing a 32' AT
Can anyone give me an idea of mileage when your towing a 32' AT??? Looking at pulling a friend's 32 from OK out to Havasu for the Desert Storm Run. I have a 07.5 Dodge 3/4 ton Megacab with the 6.7L auto 6-speed. The boat sits on a triple axle Myco. Just wondering if 12 mpg or better is possible or should I be expecting less than 10???

My 3/4 ton chevy with 6.0 L gets 7-8 mpg in the hills and 10 mpg on flat land at 70-75 mph. I think towing speed is a big factor. 65 mph would be best if you can stand it.

Thanks.......I was hoping to hear at least 11 or better if someone had the same truck but I think I might be dreaming. I want to plan fuel stops so I'm not stopping every time it gets down to a half tank. At 1160 miles one way, I don't think I can plan on keeping it at 65, that's almost 18 hours. I would like to run 75 minimum even if I have to stop one additional time for diesel. Should be a fun trip anyway, ready for April to get here!!
