We tow a 2nd generation 2008 Jeep Liberty@ 4200 lbs. You do notice the weight a bit when accelerating/ towing but you get accustomed to it very quickly. Most of the time you don't notice you are towing at all except the occasional "tug" when you go over a dip or hump. Guessing 1/2-1mpg less while towing.
Interestingly, last week we climbed Cuesta Grade in San Luis Obispo, CA.
A mile or so before the grade a newish diesel pusher whizzed pass us going about 65-70mph also towing a Jeep. We were at 55 mph. We hit the grade and soon and I noticed we were steadily gaining on the diesel without even trying. We actually had to pass it half way up the grade as he could not seem to exceed about 40 mph. Our V-10 could probably could have done 50-55mph but I held it at 45. Sorry I didn't catch the make or model-a quite new diesel though.
