2006 Chevy Silverado, 4.8L V8, auto trans, 3.23 final drive.....towing a 2720.

We've only had the truck a short time and towed with it 230 miles last weekend. Slightly hilly terrain (no mountains) 4 passengers and lots of cargo (including a kayak). We got a shocking 17.7MPG. We filled up when we started out and when we returned, so that is 100% towing mileage. I have no idea what it gets non-towing yet.

We are going on a 800 mile trip next weekend with some mountains and will report back.
