I have just returned from Golden, Colorado, the trip started in Greenville/Spartanburg, SC area the mileage one way is 1,524 miles.
The following information is based on my truck 2009 dodge 3500 dually SXT model 4x4 6 speed manual with a tri-fold bed cover.
Trailer Over the wheel flat bed tilt trailer dual axle’s single wheels.
Cargo: one 2005 Nissan Xterra
One Bedroom set and personal items.
Total weight 19,280 lbs.
AVG MPG 10.5 going at the posted speeds
Return trip cargo one MB C230
Total weight 17,040 lbs
AVG MPG 11.5 going at the posted speeds
Difference in total weight is 2,240 lbs
Same scale was used to weigh the truck and trailer.
Just wanted to provide some real world figures, to the group on towing over the road with less than max weight.

What type of MPG compare to weight that you are towing?

towing mostly flat land. I have a tandem dual gooseneck that i tip in at 26,000 + most times average 10 mpg ,and then My 16950 toy hauler + 7250 truck avg 10 to 11 mpg havent been able to tell why I get 1 mile more at times ...maybe tail wind I think but all in all around 10 is what I get towing .I even towed my friends 10k travel trailer and still get 10
