Well, sorry for the bad news. But not good!
The last one I had was a 3500 dually but otherwise the same truck and with the cruise set on 65 unloade I would get around 11 out of it, loaded with a 3 horse S&H gooseneck at the same speed on the hwy I would get around 9. Did not take long to sell it!
If you are looking to buy, find one with the 6.0 engine, way better fuel mileage and with 4.10 gear you will not tell much difference in towing.
