I wanted members to know that this mpg was attained using a 8 speed transmission/I got a 2014 which is standard with that tranny/my 2012 grand Cherokee was standard with a 5 speed tranny /made a big difference towing or not/ approx. 2 or 3mpg difference on interstate/

9 to 11 on the flat at lower elevations (2K' or less) depending on which way the wind blows.

DA Z (Silverado 2500HD 6.0) gets around 7.5 to 11.5 mpg towing depending on winds and road condition. (hills / traffic) @55 to 60 peaking at 65mph.
Using the onboard puter, gps with obd2 hook up or doing the math the hard way its all within +or - 1mpg of each other.

I was wondering how you got the miles per gallon. The a frames low profile while towing helps. Our best has been 16 worst 12 with a strong head wind.

jlgail32 4309/ you are pulling a 3200 lb trailer / if you info is correct/the libery even with a diesel is near capacity/I would say with your loaded camper you are maxed out on tow rating/what is toe rating on your TV? My last camper was a ck19 starcraft hybrid about the same as your camper / 12 to 15 mpg is all I got/my jeeps towing capacity 6200 lbs/ just what I need to tow about 3000 lbs loaded/I am sure some city drving will bring the mpg down for the non belivers/ the a122s pulls very well and has little wind drag compared to uprights///

towing fuel mpg
I use an app to keep track of my mileage. Too bad the app could not flip to non metric. It gives me km per liters. As you could see in the pic chart, the low reading are when I tow my A128S, lowest on hilly roads, the mid are city driving without TT, and the high are mostly highway trips without the TT.
Best=9.5 l/100km Worst=21.2 l/100 Avg=15.5 l/100km
2007 PONTIAC Torrent SUV gets 12-15 MPG towing A128S
Nice to know the MPG of other campers

2000 Silverado ext. cab, 5.3L V8, pulling 2011 A128. On 10,535 mile trip through Canada and Alaska, averaged 14 mpg overall. We felt good about that result; would be smiling ear to ear if we could get 18. Congrats!

Toyota Tacoma V6 TRD pulling T12RB.
I took delivery in Denver, Co and pulled it over the Eisenhower tunnel and Vail Pass (both over 10,000 ft) to Grand Junction, Co. I got a surprising 17.1 mpg. Most of my towing will be over 3,000 ft elevation and expect a 16 mpg overall. Towing a 176ED to the California north coast I averaged 18 mpg along the coast. Towing speed is always 65 mph
