My gas mileage is identical to yours both with and without a trailer, my truck has the 5.7 engine, it tows the trailer without any trouble...except the gas mileage dips of course like does. Due to high gasoline prices, I'm not going far to camp this year in it, my wife and I will do a couple of short trips to some state parks that are both within 50 miles of home. Heck, I'll be camping further from home this year on my bike than in the truck/trailer!
