    07 4Runner V6 towing 6x12 (non v-nose) I get about 17-19mpg running 70mph.

    I got rid of a Ram with the 5.9L v8 which got 14 unloaded, driving with eggshells under the pedal, towing I'd get 9mpg.

    Sometimes I wish I had a big setup like some of you guys, but these posts make me happy I dont lol.

    2000 Chevy Express (Rape Van) G2500 diesel (6.5L) with a 24ft Pace Shadow trailer. I get about 23mpg combined freeway/city without the trailer. About 14mpg loaded for a trackday, and 12 loaded for a race weekend.

    On the MUCH smaller side, I have a 6x10 blunt nose trailer with a 07 Tacoma DC V6 6spd, and I get 12mpg towing at 65-70. I'm getting 16.1 average driving and a high of 18.9 driving 65 on the highway.

    I'm shocked that thrak's 4-runner is doing better towing than I am going to work.

    I always raced out of the back of my truck. I have a crew cab which helps with the space issues. I couldn't even guess how much fuel I saved :)

    I have a 09 Tacoma Access cab V6 and with my 4x8 open trailer with 2 bikes and full bed I get 18 doing 70 on flat interstate. Jealous of the 4runner with a bigger trailer!

    My 98 4runner/auto sucks wind with an enclosed trailer at ~11mpg but my 99 dakota that had a 5.9/auto got 17ish conservatively.

    04 Sprinter 158" wheelbase super high roof (the biggest one they made at the time)... 22 highway empty, 22 highway with 3,000# in it at 65-70, and about 24-25 around town.

    '01 Silverado 3500 8.1L gas pulling a 6x12 v-nose. Too much truck for the job, but it has a day job.

    9.5-10 mpg if I keep it at 60-65. With the 4.10 rear end it goes to shit quick once I'm over 70 mph. Running a steady 75-80 puts me down around 8-8.5 mpg.
