That was pretty much the conclusion I was coming to.
Holy shit. I get 14 out of my SCREW, driving like a little old lady with the family and maybe 200lbs of emergency gear onboard.
That's with LT tires, but also about 50% of that is on forest service roads.
I get 9-10 towing the trailer.
I appreciate your insights.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
I was in and out of 4wd for hours in sub zero temps during that blizzard across the Midwest, a coupla weeks ago; the temps and 4wd being mileage killers. Still got 17.5. Mind you, the numbers I’m posting are out of a rig pushing 400HP and 475 lbs of torque with a nice flat torque curve for towing.

Apex Nano 185bh. The kid and the GSD will each have their own bunk. RV cognoscenti will look down on us, but we feel incredibly indulgent.
After years of backpacking, we loved the pop up A Frame, except for the fact that once we turned the dinette into a bed there was no where to put anything, so we were constantly tetrising duffle bags and shit. Also, the bed clothes were six inches from the gas burner so I flat insisted it get turned into a table again before anybody used the stove.

36 gallon tank is a must, should come standard with the tow package. I’ll never have a truck without a big tank like this again.

That will be nice.
Yeah, "I wish we needed to stop for gas right now" said nobody ever. Maybe that one person that also says "Gee, I sure am glad my phone battery is dead"...
I am a little disappointed with the mileage in my 2014, but I was the guy that said he needed max-tow and all that, the mental remedy will be to buy something we need to tow.
But seriously, I care about the range more than the cost. Even in my truck I can count on 500mi before I need to care. This also means that there are some pretty long trips you can manage with just one fuel stop. Many times we leave after work and get a ways down the road and stop for the night, top off in the morning and there are many places you can just get to without worry. Or you will want a fresh coffee in a few miles and top off then. You are always gonna need to pee, but it sure is nice to pee at rest areas and not have to get gas because you need it.
Even in my car I can get over 300, I can make a sales call (back when that was a thing...) in the Chicago area and usually make it home. My friends think I am nuts about it, I think they are crazy.
