Shocked pulled the SxS in our Enclosed trailer got over 13mpg...incredible good towing MPGs...thats all. if you follow the channel you see the trailer I am talking about...key is speed and no cruise control. Most of this towing was 35-60mph with a mix of city driving. Very impressed and it was 85F outside.
 
I re-watched your latest YT video. I missed where you ran against 392 Wranger. How did you do?

Yup, we got a little over 12 @ 65mph towing our 5k lb boat. :) They do incredible and I am amazed how stable given the very compliant suspension.

We did use tow mode, so it hangs in gear a bit longer and stiffens the shocks I believe.

Do you use tow or regular mode?

That's impressive.

98% of my driving is around town.

I barely eek out 12.0 mpg...

I have around 4k miles towing now...speed is a huge impact on this truck...If I tow at 25-55mph I can get 10-13mpg. If I tow at 65-75mph I get 8-10mpg.
