That's the reason I went with an F350 when my kids fell in love with it, I figured there was no real way for me to kill it.
What's your average mpg?

My 2025 GMC AT4 1500 with the 3.0L diesel engine gets about 28 mpg when not pulling anything.
Last week I pulled a 12' single axle trailer with my Kawasaki Mule FX 1000 on it to the deer camp which is 100 miles away.
The fuel mileage dropped to 14.8 mpg. I was really surprised how much the mileage dropped with a small trailer.

.25 mpg?

There's a lot of drag from something like a Kawasaki mule on a trailer, but 28 to 14.8 seems extreme. Does towing automatically kick that GMC out of overdrive?
I pulled some small rental trailer a while ago that had two tall hinged load ramps that stuck up 6' or above the trailer bed. (Non-removable) I don't recall the mileage drop, but every wind gust or fast truck passing the trailer pushed and pulled it around, so I am sure the mileage took a hit.
All the best,

old (Gen1) Tundra 17mpg
newer (Gen2) but still old Tundra 15mpg
Semi-new Infiniti QX60 (SUV) 22mph
Wife's Semi-new Nissan Rogue 33mph
Avg. 22mpg - not great, considering the Rogue gets driven the least!

Daily driver 2004 Saturn Ion - about 28 mpg. This car has 128,000 miles on and looks like it has 300,000 but just keeps going. And if something does break its cheap to fix.
Work Truck - 2012 Ram 3500 diesel - about 15 mpg mixed driving, 11 towing heavy, and 18 hwy. This one has 318,000 miles on it and is how all trucks should be built. I had no repairs outside of normal wear and tear until 280,000. From 280k to 310k I did radiator, turbo, transmission, and a delete due to egr failure. It is still my daily work truck.
Pavement princess - 2023 Ram 3500 diesel. About 14 mpg mixed driving, around 16-17 hwy, and 10 towing heavy. Man this is a nice truck. So nice I just can't get myself to dump the 2012 and turn this into my daily work truck. Mainly using it for when I'm long hauling for my business or family trips and also due to the cost of these new trucks. I'll put the wear and tear on the 2012 until the next major failure, likely injectors, and then decide whether or not to dump the 2012 and start abusing this one daily.
